LEARN ·2023 Grants ChallengeBeats & Rhymes Music Workshop and Album
Beats and Rhymes serves at-risk and system-impacted youth/young adults (ages 14-24) and orbits around our recording studio. Participants are invited to write, rehearse, record and produce their own poetry, raps and songs, while gaining skills in music production and music business. Youth emerge with the tools to tell their own stories, to challenge the status quo, and to dream a new world into being. Our program culminates with an annual album and performance event and alumni are connected to music industry internships and jobs.
