INTERNSHIP WRAP UP! Our intern Jason helps send off our summer programming with an in depth presentation on production, recording, and the industry norms of online distribution. He assigned roles for each youth such as engineer, producer, artist, and A&R. Then we all got to work on a hook for a new song idea to put the steps to practice. Here he’s coaching Haiden and Gail on vocal delivery. It was really interesting to hear his insights on the creation process and how he defines his identity as an artist. He will be resuming his studies at SAE institute in the fall!
JUNIOR SUMMER CYPHERS Julian and Sara hopped in the booth for some freestyles for one of our junior summer cyphers. Once a week for 30 minutes, all the juniors pass around the mic and come up with raps/melodies on the spot. We do it as a warmup to get creative ideas flowing, and to strengthen our confidence as performers. Important to stay in tune with the fun when taking one’s first steps to songwriting!
