The music school, which opened at 129 Grove Street in Montclair in December, is asking anyone interested to apply by June 1 for the chance to record a three-song EP with Jarrett Zellea, a two-time Grammy Award-winning producer, a prize valued at over $6,000.

Contestants will be asked to video themselves singing an original song. 

Those who will be voting on the winners will be asked to donate a dollar every time they vote for their favorite songwriter.

The money will be donated to just a few charities such as Parents Who Rock.
