This club is designed for young musicians and storytellers who want to explore how songs are made—from the first spark of an idea to a fully formed musical piece. Each week, students will learn how to about how music can express emotions, tell stories, and connect with listeners. They'll explore melody writing, lyric writing, chord progressions, and basic music theory to understand how songs are structured. Students will also get hands-on experience with beat making and live music recording, using digital tools and rhythm exercises to create their own songs.
