Beside all of that, I was thinking that there really isn't any course or school that teaches you what it actually takes to make an album from beginning to end. There's guitar lessons, piano lessons, drum lessons, singing lessons, etc like you said... but there's not a course that puts all that together into what it takes to make records.

With that said, I'm sure there are some parents out there that would like to put their kids into this sort of course that will let them learn the foundation of making songs, recording, performing, etc. Basically let the kids step into a day in the life of a rockstar. At the end of the course they'll have a whole song done by themselves and get to know if this career is right for them. Plus in time I am thinking the school will evolve to have a lot of connections in the business.
go for it
you wont know unless you try

but
if there were a market
somebody would be doing it already

not that many people want to make records
except for all the heavy punk acid slacker rock bands
and they dont have any money to pay for lessons
if they did they would buy gear

not many little kids want to LEARN to sing
especially if it means work
and parents saying learn piano or else

just cause somebody wants to be something
doesnt mean they will really shell out money
and EFFORT TO LEARN that something

i dont see a market for what you want
a few large trade schools do the recording mixing production etc
not enough people in one local area to support it


singing career is different from a recording and producing career

go for it
you might find somebody that will pay to do it
but i would not invest in your venture
