My Project

Thank you for donating to our Music Club. We are currently procuring equipment and instruments for the music studio space. This product is significant to our goal of creating socially conscious art.

Our scholars will be able to engage in music production, vocal production, music arranging, and mixing their recordings.

They will also learn how to read and write musical notation and the basic elements of music.

Our goal is to build a fully functional studio where students can create their music and share it with the school community.
