Overview
Mission
To show kids of all backgrounds that there is a place for them, in person and close-by, where they can deepen their understanding and passion for the music that inspires them, and do it in a fully outfitted music technology workshop on wheels!
What it reported doing in 2017
Our mission is to provide a rigorous - and fun - alternative to traditional school-based music programs for those that need it most. This includes public schools, social service and special needs groups, after school programs, as well as private instruction for individual students of all learning styles. Our curriculum combines the fundamentals - for example, music theory, ear training, and keyboard skills - with the creative innovations coming from the DJ and electronic music scene.
