Join this exciting new program that invites kids to make Original Music in a professional-style Recording Studio setting!
Kids will have a chance to not only have weekly one-on-one lessons with a qualified teacher but also experience the whole process of music creation — from exploration to composing and lyrics then arranging and finally, laying down the track…all while staying true to the Hoot Vibe of low pressure learning, fun, and joy in individual creativity.
Students with at least 1 Semester of Hootenanny Private Lessons or Proficiency on at least 1 instrument are invited to participate.
The goal is to give kids tools to find their own voice. We will dig deeper into the artists kids admire and facilitate them creating original music that lights them up with the same excitement. We will collaborate on arrangements, album art, and celebrate each students artistry and unique voice.
This is a unique opportunity for students to work on craft weekly and then on 3 weekend dates, explore a Recording Studio setting equipped with microphones, recording software, and various instruments.
Here’s how the structure works:
*10 Weekly Songwriting Sessions where kids will hone craft and shape impulses and interests into original songs.
*3 Recording Artist Retreat Dates at Meronymy Studio (250 44th St): January 31, February 28, and March 14 from 1:30pm-4:30pm. Students will explore the studio, collaborate on one another’s tracks, work on their album artwork and work together on one group song.
*1 Group Rehearsal for final show at Hootenanny: March 28 from 1-3pm
*Public Show on March 29, venue and time TBD
