RISING STAR MUSIC WORKSHOP

We’re a music workshop inspiring young musicians to push themselves to envision and then reach for the stars.”

OUR AIM

Rising Star Music Workshop is a pilot program that offers a collaborative and highly tailored music experience geared towards young musicians aspiring to reach for more in their musical lives. Through one-on-one and group training in songwriting and improvisation our participating young musicians will work with peers and teaching mentors in a collaborative four part workshop that will culminate into a full day of recording at The Creamery Studio in Brooklyn, NY. The group’s goal is to record four original tracks of music that will be published as an EP. Our aim is for every young musician to leave this experience feeling inspired to continue their pursuit of music with passion and curiosity. Our  young musicians have a collaborative spirit and seek to learn more about what it means to be part of a band and together accomplish a common musical goal. Our job is to  create an encouraging and motivating environment that will help foster this collaborative process. Our musicians will leave with a scene of accomplishment by having their first EP released out into the world. 

WHY

While there are other after school music programs in the northern New Jersey area, there are none that bring the music straight to the students on their turf at no cost to them, their families or the school. Families from these communities find it a challenge to be able to afford individual private lessons or to attend an after school music program. Also, due to the lack of quality public transportation in certain areas of Jersey City families are also find it difficult to get their young musicians to these opportunities. Making this opportunity accessible and affordable are our two primary goals.
