Help me give my students insight into the creative process with a wonderful book!
FULLY FUNDED! Dr. D's classroom raised $245
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I run a band club at my school and we are moving into musical composition and recording. It would be awesome to offer the wisdom Rick Ruben provides in this book to my students. I know from my own journey how easy it is to fall into the trap of reinventing the wheel when it comes to songwriting and creativity in general. This book will provide the basis for opening the discussion of what is creativity when it comes to song writing? Where do great songs come from? Thank you!
