WELCOME TO OUR CREATIVE COMMUNITY

REDirection Media Inc’s (RED Media) mission is to “revolutionize the

industry and eternally change the heart of society through media, arts, and

fashion.” Through our instructional divisions; Drum Production Co, and

Inspire Studios and Media Camp; we are able to serve the creative

community at-large with industry professionals.

As a media company, we are the preeminent choice in music, television,

film and stage. Using our unique business model, we are also able to offer

branding and media services/consulting to individuals, small businesses

and corporations. We also provide life-changing products from all

spectrums of the media industry, from music to books. Simply put, we are

committed to presenting an alternative choice in media and arts.

We know the importance of creating a “Sowing Cycle”. By creating a “sow

as we grow” environment, we breed a new generation of creative leaders

who are trained and equipped to always leave a legacy behind. By using

this model, the creative community

never dies.

OUR CREATIVE COMMUNITY IS BORN

Drum Production Co was founded in September 2009

Inspire Media Camp was founded in January 2011

Inspire Studios was founded in July 2011

Is There A Contract?

There is no need to sign a contract. Families continue with our school based

on satisfaction and not on contracts. We believe in great customer service

and great relationships! Paying your tuition the month before you are

scheduled to take class reserves your slot and time that is most convenient

for your family. If you would like to continue class, then continue to pay your

tuition.

Tuition Due Dates

Tuition is due on the 15th of the month before students are scheduled to

take class. For example, students participating in class in May, will pay

his/her tuition on April 15th.

Inclement Weather

Classes will be made up on our scheduled “off weeks” (usually the 4th week

of the month). For instance, if all Tuesday classes were cancelled due to

snow, then most likely, we will make up the Tuesday class during the last

week of the following month. Every student will come at his/her regularly

scheduled time.

Refund Policy

All tuition and all fees are non-refundable. Credits will be given if there is a

cancellation and no substitute teacher or alternative class can be provided. If

a student misses a class, then class cannot be made up. Our rates are the

most economical due to our relationship with the Eubie Blake Cultural

Center, a 501 (c) (3). In order to keep the cost of tuition low, everyone follows

that same schedule.

Frequency of Class

Students will take (1) one hour session each week for three weeks in the

month. Students take a one week break from class each month for practice

time away from class, as well as lesson planning time for our instructors. This

break off are also used as make up days during inclement weather.

REDirection Media Inc and its instructional divisions (Drum Production Co and

Inspire Studios & Media Camp) admits all participants and does not discriminate on

the basis of race, color, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, national and ethnic

origin, disability to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally

accorded or made available to participants or interested parties.

OUR VISION STATEMENT

Free to Create.

Open to Change

Ready to Serve.

LOVE over money.

FOR LOVE IS WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO

PAVE YOUR OWN WAY SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

In order for an artist to survive in the Arts, Drum Production Co believes that

every creative person must at least have a general knowledge of business. The

“Pave Your Own Way” Entrepreneurship Program was created so that students

could have the opportunity to raise funds for their own individual scholarship.

This effort is a partnership between the instruction divisions of REDirection

Media, Inc and The Creative Ambassador Parent Association (The CAP

Association).

COMMUNITY PARTNERS

The Eubie Blake National Jazz and

Cultural Center is our ongoing partner. As

a 501 (c) (3), it houses different arts

programs such as Raynfall Dance and

Keur Khaleyi African Dance Company to

name a few. It is through the center’s

nurturing support and Executive Director

Troy Burton’s leadership that arts

programs in Baltimore are still alive.

Because of the center’s continued

commitment to give back, programs are

able to offer the Arts at an economical

price without affecting the quality of

service. All of our classes are held at

the Eubie Blake Cultural Center.

Mark and Tova Baker joined together as husband and wife and

the rest is history. They realize that their purpose is to fulfill their mission

of sharing good news and hope that the world is missing.

Previously, Mark & Tova spent years in Los Angeles learning about

business, music & the film industry. Mark played at major venues such

as the Whiskey, Key Club, House of Blues, The Michelle Wright Show,

and The Roxy, to name a few. He was also known as the band member

from SE7VEN and Downrising. Formerly, he served as Music Director

for Brooke Valentine and Teedra Moses. Tova began her career in

production in Los Angeles with T’Keyah Crystal Keymah’s one woman

show and then Black Entertainment Television (Celebration of Gospel &

BET Awards). She also worked at Jamie Foxx’s management company,

King Management. That led to her doing script analysis from time to

time, which included “Ray” the movie. She also spent time in the

advertising sales industry during her tenure with Black Enterprise

Magazine and other well-known publications. Tova also penned the

novel Lady B. Moore, which she published under her own publishing

company. Her book is the first of a new genre of fiction called “real-life

lit”.

They are both natives of Baltimore, MD. Most importantly over

everything, they are proud parents of two daughters. Their oldest sings,

plays the piano, and is on the Honor Roll. She is a student within their

program. Their youngest dances and sings at the tender age of 2.

They are humbled to be of service. They hope to make an impact on the

community in which they reside, and to inspire the world---one person,

one purpose at a time.

Creative Ambassadors are generally known as “Artists”. An artist is a person

who produces works in any of the arts that are primarily subject to aesthetic

criteria. Being that aesthetics are based on pure emotion and we create

based on inspiration from God and the teachings of the Bible, then we call

those who produce creative material within RED Media Creative

Ambassadors. This program is offered complimentary in addition to general

lessons as a part of the overall program. The program is mentor-based.

Students must "Opt In" or "Opt Out" to participate. This

curriculum is not mandatory. We respect all of our student’s

religious beliefs, and ensure that all students feel appreciated, nurtured, and

loved.

Students who opt –in will be exposed to the following:

• The understanding of how to take care of his/her gift properly

• Use of his/her gift to offer it as service

• Inspirational words and scriptures to reflect upon

• Prayer

• Being true to who he/she is created to be

• Being a good steward of his/her gift; within his/her home, family, and

community

• The process of being an innovator and trailblazer

CREATIVE AMBASSADORS THE CREATIVE AMBASSADOR IN-TRAINING PROGRAM

THE ACTOR’S STUDIO STILLS-N-MOTION

Inspire Studios offer classes in Acting and

foster and build a creative community who

desires to seriously grow in its creative gifts.

From little learners to adults, these classes

were designed to get “you” out of the way of

your gift.

At the Drum Production Company, students are taught

theory, technique and music business. One on one

instruction is tailored to each student’s knowledge and

skills. We are serious about training musicians. Students

are encouraged to practice as much as possible but at

least 30 minutes daily depending on students age.

Students are taught fundamentals from September until

January. From February until June, students prepare for

the annual summer concert.

Our goal at the Drum Production Co is to nurture each

students individual gift(s). We strive to produce the best

and brightest musicians in the country. Our courses are

designed to bring the best out of even our youngest

students. We also pride ourselves on creating the best

creative environment! We have 3 unique studios

available for lessons. This allows families up to 3 to take

lessons at the same time (If time slots are available).
