Our band has videos geared towards educators and laypeople. This is a performance video where we aim to show off our stage skills. We recorded the audio together in Garage Band (which the kids are learning to use independently) and I edited the video at my home studio. .
This 3 minute video that explains how our program works and details how we cover specific academic content standards in reading, writing, math, social studies, technology, and the visual and performing arts. .
Once we’ve used the music as a springboard to teach academic content standards, our goal is to take our work to completion by performing it onstage and recording it together in digital multitrack audio and video editing programs.
The students even learn how to operate programs like iMovie, Photoshop and Garage Band.

So far our performances have included playing a street fair, for a large audience of staff and students at the Cal State San Marcos College of Education and on local TV news and KPBS TV (watch these performances on our videos page). We're a real band, and we're learning and rocking! We have about ten songs in our repertoire.
