Collaborative Beat-Making

Getting Into Guitar
Instrument Exploration
Teen member James has been working on his finger-drumming skills on our Maschine controller this month. I’ve shown him how to edit patterns after recording, but James is more interested in performing beats in real-time and has been making a ton of progress over the last couple weeks. Check out his first-ever beat by clicking the link above!
6-year-old studio member Zael loves coming into the N4N studio everyday and trying out new instruments! Guitar has become one of his favorites to play. Even though it’s a little big for him, Zael has learned how to change notes on the high-E string and that’s pretty cool!
Our kindergarten through 2nd grade class has been learning about rhythms and exploring different instruments this last month. From drum circles to jam sessions, this group brings great energy to the studio and are always excited to learn something new.
