Learning usefully useless crap
Crap Academy is the funnest place to hang out on skool when you'd rather play hooky. The classrooms? Yooseful. The certificates? I have 3 so far! The people? My kind of clowns... The Dean? Dumbassery extraordinaire! You should definitely check out Crap Academy. Let your inner nerd earn certification in useless knowledge 🤓

So Much Fun
I enjoy Crap Academy because it is just fun. No worries about saying the wrong thing or am I going to be offensive. Jokes are allowed, puns are appreciated and silliness is expected. It is a breath of fresh air (even though it is called crap academy) in a world where there is too much heaviness.

Finbar's got a great ear.
Finbar's got a great ear. He has straightened me out on so many songs. If you're trying to level up, this is the coaching you need. Don't take my opinion. Finbar's got a huge group of followers for a reason.

Pro Gig Academy (Plus) is superb!
I strongly recommend Pro Gig Academy (Plus). I used to play my guitar and attempt to sing like the original artists, which was rarely successful. Finbar has shown us how to adjust the keys and chord shapes to get songs in the right vocal range in order to, ostensibly, be able to sing for a 3-hour gig. Just as importantly he has shown us how develop set lists that crowds enjoy. The entire community is supportive, creative, and on the road to getting gigs.
