Hard at work in the “studio”.
These 8th grade students are totally into rapping and making their own beats so I brought in my own microphone and let them use a storage area as a studio. The Music Tech classroom is the former wood/metal shop. That’s a compressor hose dangling in the foreground, and some kids from another age spray painted the heck out of the place. These guys immediately claimed it as their own, saying wouldn’t it be dope to get a fridge and a futon in here. I could hardly get them out of there at 4:00 yesterday afternoon.
Here’s a first look at Milwood Magnet School’s new after-school guitar club. Twenty five students signed up to learn to play or to improve their playing. We look forward to expanding upon the two-chord song we learned last week.
