(CNA, Kaohsiung, May 19, by reporter Lin Chiao-lien) The first wave of courses for "High-Speed Youth," a youth music cultivation brand in Kaohsiung, was met with overwhelming demand and sold out instantly. The organizer, the Kaohsiung City Youth Bureau, announced that it will add a "Large-Scale Event Production Practices" course on the 30th, taught by Tai Wei-Hsuan, the Chief Operating Officer of Fire Music.
The Youth Bureau stated in a press release today that several of this year's training courses filled up quickly after registration opened. Among them, the "Music Arrangement and Composition" course, taught by Sam Cheng, guitarist of the Golden Melody Award-winning band Fire EX., and Geo Kuo, lead vocalist of the popular new-generation band Mango Jump, sparked a registration frenzy. The additional course on the 30th will guide young people in understanding the behind-the-scenes operations of large-scale concerts and music festivals.
Youth Bureau Director-General Lin Kai-Hsuan said that Kaohsiung has been fully committed to building itself into a "Concert Capital" in recent years, with a succession of large concerts and music festivals. This has not only boosted tourism and the city's economy but also driven increased demand for talent in the pop music industry chain. The Youth Bureau's "High-Speed Youth" program aims to guide young people to understand the ecosystem of concerts, music festivals, and the pop music industry, thereby enhancing their career capabilities.
The Youth Bureau pointed out that the first wave of training courses this year was held over three consecutive weekends starting from April 25, with a total of six courses focusing on core skills in the film, television, and music industries. Participation was enthusiastic, with every session fully booked.
In response to the high demand, the Youth Bureau will add the "Large-Scale Event Production Practices" course. The instructor will be Tai Wei-Hsuan, COO of Fire Music, who was involved in the behind-the-scenes planning for the "Fireball Fest" and "Fire EX. 26th Anniversary Taipei Arena Concert." The course will be held at the Southern Base of the Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) and will cover the production process, on-site execution, overall management, and backstage coordination for large-scale music festivals and 10,000-spectator concerts.
The Youth Bureau added that "High-Speed Youth" also includes a practical phase, including a summer "Workplace Experience Program" that allows participants to gain in-depth experience at concerts and large-scale performance venues. The "Music Production Training Program" will recruit promising new bands, who will be guided by professional producers to record and release a single to global streaming platforms for free, with an arrangement to perform on the "High-Speed Youth" music showcase stage on August 23.
