What is Music Production? Music Production allows students to find their creative voice from Hip-Hop to Pop and Commercial Songwriting based on the individual students musical tastes.
"Hip-Hop Pedagogy is a way of attending to students learning needs in contemporary ways that reflect the world in which we all live, through critical means, grounded in real-experiences through the lens of the traditions and elements of the hip-hop community (culture)." - Dr. Jarritt Sheel |
