ABOUT US

The School for Performing Arts and Recording for Kids will not only help kids develop their musical abilities but also teach them how to create, record, and perform their own songs. We aim to help students develop the ability to express themselves through the art of music. Some students may learn the basics of their instruments but lack opportunities to apply their skills creatively. Our program addresses this gap by providing hands-on experience in music creation and performance. We will give them an opportunity to perform live in public settings and record and release their songs on all streaming platforms for friends, families, and potential fans to enjoy.
