Conferences

As we explore our way through culture, music, business, and arts we will be utilizing traditional games, storytelling, poetry, and original instruments to enhance everyone's experience and make it as informative, educational, and fun as possible. We offer a hands-on approach to learning as we teach each student, young and old, the ins and outs of beat-making, songwriting, and audio recording. 

 

We bring our own studio equipment and the most efficient and effective methods for recording music, history, traditions, passion, and inspiration. Our main goal is to teach each student specific leadership skills, and empowerment techniques to make them "the best they can possibly be."
