Happy New Year James. Here at The Cool School, a free after school, Saturday and Summer program in music for low income kids 8-12 I teach kids music theory, technique, and recording skills AND basic cold hard business. I work with families to help them understand that every creative child is a gift not a liability. I try to give kids the self confidence and core self-belief to stand up to the constant rejection that is the life of an any artist in 2025. Creativity, Art and Music CAN fight addiction and gang membership. Here at the Cool School we define an artist's worth as priceless. By silencing and shaming unique creative voices Big Music Corporations killed the canaries in our community. Thank you for your Stars After Stars Substack. 100% true.
