    East New York, Flatbush, East Flatbush, Canarsie
    Which audience(s) does your idea help? Select as many as apply.
    Youth
    Limited English proficient individuals
    Low income individuals
    Black, Indigenous, and POC
    LGBTQ+ community
    Public housing residents
    Describe the challenge you want to address:
    Lack of arts funding in the DOE schools, and lack of safe/engaging fun things to do for kids in their neighborhoods. Kids listen to music all the time, but there aren't opportunities for them to learn the elements of actually making music. The arts is taking a hard hit, as STEM and sciences and TESTING take up the entire curriculum. Kids need things to do that are safe and fun and meaningful, and relevant to their lives but also show them new opportunities, help them build new skills after school!!!!
    Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:
    In community centers across Central and South Brooklyn, pay teaching artists to host music writing and music production classes for high school kids. Pay for the promotion of these classes to kids in public housing through the TA's and through relevant social media channels, and pay the teachers/musicians. The classes also have a song-writing component, so kids can learn to write raps, and write full songs. That way they can practice their creative writing skills through music. There could also be an instrumentation / production element where kids can learn how to sample, learn how to use a drum machine/sampler, and record themselves singing/ rapping , and learn the basics of music production. \n\nThis will give kids a window into a new career path, and just a creative outlet with new adult role models/ mentors who have skills they can share.
