In-School Programs
We are proud of our partnerships with Cleveland and Cincinnati schools. Our teaching artists run short term hip-hop songwriting projects or full-time studio classrooms that are embedded in the schools. Our consulting has helped several schools build mobile recording studios as well as train teachers in the use of the equipment and Hip-Hop pedagogy.
Studio Classrooms
Our full-time embedded studio classrooms are professionally equipped spaces within partner schools, offering students elective credits and pathways to Industry-Recognized Credentials. Students experience collaborative learning circles, transforming from passive participants to active community builders. The 101 course welcomes beginners, 201 advances students toward mastery in digital music production and recording, and 301 develops leadership skills as students become peer mentors, creating a complete pipeline from creative exploration to community leadership.
Short Term In-School Programs
Our Short Term Intensive Hip-hop Songwriting Programs bring trauma-informed Hip-hop pedagogy directly to schools serving 6th-12th graders. Students write rhymes, make beats, and perform for their peers, creating songs that share their hopes, dreams, and authentic stories. These performances become magical confidence-boosting moments where students surprise themselves with what they can achieve, gaining social-emotional strength through creative expression and skill-building.
