Dr. Bogle was nominated for a Grammy Award early in his career as a music artist and educator and this experience changed his life in such a positive way that he wanted to share this with his students. Since Dr. Bogle’s Grammy nomination in 1991 for Best Arrangement on an Instrumental for his arrangement of Got A Match? by Chick Corea for the UNT One O’Clock Lab Band, he has gone on to release 10 albums in his own name, teaching thousands of students about the process of “Writing, Recording and Releasing” music (The “3 R’s” of Commercial Music), and was been twice a Quarterfinalist for Grammy Music Educator of the Year.
Here are two important upcoming events for the Musical Institute for Knowledge and Education:

The Musical Institute for Knowledge and Education (M.I.K.E.) was established in 2013 by Dr. Mike Bogle to help and inspire talented and underprivileged college students in southern Dallas county. The most important event sponsored by MIKE each year is the D’Jammy Awards, which was established in 2010. Here is a link to the MIKE web site. http://www.music501c3.org.
MISSION AND VISION OF THE MUSICAL INSTITUTE FOR KNOWLEDGE AND EDUCATION
Our Mission
The Musical Institute for Knowledge and Education is a charitable organization that exists to provide education, outreach, and support for educators, communities, students, and citizens—including underserved and disadvantaged communities, and students with certain physiological or developmental disorders (i.e. Blindness, Asperger’s syndrome, Attention Deficit Disorder, and other conditions that seem to have a relationship to musical ability) with special emphasis on American Popular Music and Jazz.
Our Vision
Popular Music (to include jazz, blues, rock & roll, soul, country and western, and many sub genres) and the entire music industry as we know it, was created and invented first in America and has become an important export around the world—frequently copied, emulated, and admired. Other countries look to American musical artists as experts in these musical art forms and it is important for Americans to embrace this leadership role in the world artistic community with proper intention, integrity, and creative vision. American Popular Music is more than just sounds, poetry and entertainment. Jazz and American Popular Music represent the very freedom upon which our nation is founded—not just the best of what it means to be an American, but indeed what it means to be a human being.
We do not live in a vacuum where disciplines are separate and isolated. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM subjects) are enhanced when combined with music and the arts, and this process of cross-pollination has led to some of our country’s greatest scientific innovations.
Popular Music and Jazz are wonderful indigenous American art forms worthy of much more study and research. Lives and livelihoods will continue to be devoted exclusively to music—commercial, educational, and the more esoteric and artistic forms. Furthermore, through music (art) and technology, students can be encouraged to explore and participate in STEM careers. The benefits resulting from relating artistic and musical skills to other academic subjects will be apparent in academic curriculums and cultural systems nurtured by the innovation of the Musical Institute for Knowledge and Education.
The Musical Institute for Knowledge and Education will increase awareness, understanding and appreciation of our national treasure, American Popular Music and Jazz—something that is in danger of being lost due to budget cuts for music and the arts in public schools, community colleges and universities—and will foster innovation and originality to emphasize the significance of blending artistic and musical skills with other academic disciplines, especially the STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).
