(From left to right): Lanyah moving from beatmaking on an app on her tablet to Soundtrap; Ayden writing the drum pattern on the white board to reference when practicing; Jeaniah working on a hard lead guitar part in a Japanese anime song; Lamiya practicing rudiments on a drum pad; Dayna making her own DJ playlist and practicing transitions; Lanyah, Izzy, Grace, and Jade practicing a song/memorizing lyrics together
After a year and a half of remotely teaching Scarlett vocal performance (among other things), she booked her first gig with her band, Flooded Harbour. Scarlett looked well-rehearsed and charismatic on stage; so proud of how far she’s come! Check out their cover of “Beggin’” by Maneskin and other songs on YouTube!

Lamiya “I Love Rock ‘N Roll” Drumming Progression 16-year-old Lamiya didn’t how to play instruments when she came to the N4N studio 4 years ago. Since then, she’s learned how to play guitar, bass, piano, and has built up the courage to sing on stage. All she had left to tackle was the drums, which she picked up very quickly. Watch how she learned “I Love Rock ‘N Roll” by Joan Jett!
Jordan is Back! A regular member pre-Covid and drummer Jordan joined us back for our summer programming. Now a teen, he’s grown so much! His drumming was a bit rusty because he didn’t get to practice during lockdown, but he’s slowly getting back into his groove! Check out his pre- and post-lockdown drumming (and look)!
Summer at the Studio Summer at the Murphy Clubhouse has been all about having fun, meeting new youth, and being surprised at how much the youth have grown! Special shoutout to our new teen member Andy who has been shedding on the drums and guitar for months now. Keep it up! (Pictured in last video) DONATE
