My Students

These students have chosen to pursue a brand new class offering - Songwriting and Recording. Already the students have learned how to operate a microphone and sound board and have begun learning to use recording software. They have created several of their own songs already using their Chromebooks. We have begun to learn chords, which are a vital part to accompanying yourself on whatever music you enjoy!

My Project

With your help, students in our Songwriting and Recording class will be able to have their own keyboard or guitar for creating and recording their own music! We are excited to offer this brand new class to give students the incredible opportunity of creating their own musical art pieces, and learning valuable music skills along the way. Your donation will give students the tools they need to create music from wherever they are, no matter the pandemic situation. These musical instruments and microphones along with the students’ existing laptops creates a mobile recording studio, awaiting a musical masterpiece.
