Our mission is to empower individuals with a platform that promotes creativity and forward thinking, encouraging skills that can be used as an artistic outlet as well as in school and throughout life.
WHY WE DO IT…
AN INNOVATIVE MUSICAL OUTLET
Music is essential to children through adolescence. Unfortunately, it is overlooked more often by both the schools, via lack of funding, as well as the students, via lack of interest. DJing and Music Production allow the students to manipulate and create music they ENJOY. Not too mention, DJs/Music Producers are very popular in the music industry right now and are idolized by the youth. Just as the rock bands in the 70s caused many to want to start their own bands.
A FUN SKILL!
Djing and producing music is fun! This program provides a hands on experience unlike any other. In addition to having an environment of kids manipulating and remixing their favorite songs, they are learning a valued skill set that can go beyond being a hobby. Students will learn about the business side of DJing and Music Production and how they can realistically earn a living doing so. We know many of DJs that have paid their way through college by DJing on the weekends.
BEYOND THE MUSIC
Research has found that learning music facilitates learning other subjects and enhances skills that children inevitably use in other areas. “A music-rich experience for children of singing, listening and moving is really bringing a very serious benefit to children as they progress into more formal learning,” says Mary Luehrisen, executive director of the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Foundation, a not-for-profit association that promotes the benefits of making music. - PBS.org --
