The Willie Mae Way
We integrate music with creative technology in an affirming and supportive learning environment where students discover the full potential of their creative voices. Through the language of music, our students increase their ability to express themselves using creative tech and develop essential skills for future success.
Digital Mentorship
This after-school program teaches students the fundamentals of producing electronic music. Using synthesizers, various music tech apps, drum machines and sequencers students will learn how to create a song and video project.
In-School Programs
We partner with schools to provide in-school programming designed to enhance and expand music education opportunities for middle and high school students.
