Soon students interested in pursuing a career in the music business will be able to enroll in Nelly's new recording school in Missouri. Classes at the Vatterott College Ex'treme Institute by Nelly-St. Louis will begin Monday.

The 9,000 square-foot institute, located at Laclede's Landing in downtown St. Louis, will have a recording studio, music engineering space and a design studio for students who wish to create album covers, recordings, merchandise and other materials in the music business.

"Working with Nelly and his team has been an exciting opportunity for us at Vatterott College," says Pam Bell, chief executive officer and president of Vatterott Educational Centers, Inc.
