Music professionals, freelancers and those who are new to the music industry can get training grants and allowance, as part of efforts to create a more vibrant music sector.

The Media Development Authority (MDA) and the Workforce Development Agency (WDA) are working with two established music companies - Ocean Butterflies Music and Funkie Monkies Pop Music School - to offer training programmes in lyrics and melody writing, as well as music arrangement.

Music professionals, media freelancers and newbies will receive MDA grants of up to 90 per cent of the course fee under MDA's Talent Assistance Grant Scheme.

Media freelancers can get an additional training allowance of S$7.50 per training hour.

On top of training grants, newbies will enjoy training allowances of up to S$1,000 per month for three months from WDA.
