Make some music! Learn how to create original tracks through the art of beat making, song writing, and rhyming taught by some of the most talented and professional MC’s and producers from NYC while receiving a professional view of how to build a career in the music industry!

Teens will learn how to translate stories into original verse. In each session, the group will brainstorm ideas for lyrics based on a theme, then learn how to turn those ideas into individual song verses! Students will also learn the basics of freestyle etiquette.

On the production side of songwriting, students will learn the basic percussion sounds of the kick drum, snare drum, and high-hat, and how to build their own rhythms using free music production software. At the end of each session, students share their verses and beats to receive constructive feedback to keep building their songs even after the class is done.

For ages 13+
Program meets from 4 – 4:45pm on the following dates:
11/30
12/4
