Who doesn't want to be Beyoncé when they grow up? Now, it seems like it could be a possibility. The "Partition" singer's former manager and father Matthew Knowles is teaching a new course on how to make it in the music industry this fall.
According to The Huffington Post, Knowles will be teaching a one day "boot camp" at Houston Community College Central on Sept. 13 titled "The Entertainment Industry: How Do I Get In?" The school's official website touts the one-day seminar as a "fascinating, insider's view of the entertainment industry from someone who knows it top to bottom."
It also promises that attendees -- which can be anyone from aspiring singers, songwriters, producers, engineering technicians, fashion stylists or whatever you want -- will leave with "real information, contacts and strategies for their own successful entertainment endeavors."
The one-day course costs $145 for current HCC students and $295 for non-students who order in advance. At-door ticket prices will run $350.
Of course, learning from Beyoncé's father isn't always the best way to go. In the days of Destiny's Child, it's reported that Knowles made Beyoncé, Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland rehearse until they cried.
Bey dumped Knowles as her manager in 2011 after it was revealed he had an affair with actress Alexsandra Wright and Knowles divorced Beyoncé's mother Tina Knowles. The two are now reportedly estranged.
