Amped - creative music club

a little bit about steph

Amped will give the youth an opportunity to perform cover songs of their choice as a group. Each week the group will focus on a specific musical skill (humming, scat singing, beat boxing, etc.) that will help provide a musical foundation for the group’s singers.  At the end of the program youth will have arranged a total of 3 songs which will be video recorded at Local and performed live.

To register youth should attend the program for the first session. Consistent  attendance is required if they wish to continue with the workshop.
