About Us:

We used to run a major recording studio in Brooklyn, New York. We’ve distilled the knowledge we used to produce major artists (i.e. the music kids actually like, not the music adults want them to like) into a songwriting course.

We use students’ enthusiasm about learning how to make their favorite kinds of music to teach them valuable life skills, such as time management, social-emotional skills and teamwork.

We’ve brought our workshops to students around the world, and have reached more than 2,000 students so far.
