#PhillyBeatz

Two students work on a music program on the computer at the Kimmel Center

Creative Imagination Powered by Technology

4th-6th Grade Students

#PhillyBeatz is a technology-based creativity celebration. Students will learn to create electronic music and write their own songs using music software (Soundtrap for Education) provided by the Kimmel Center. A Kimmel Teaching Artist will hold sessions with each classroom, including the teacher, over a video call once week for 8-weeks. Each session will deliver 45 minutes of synchronous instruction. Additionally, students may complete a creative homework assignment that is designed to take 15-20 minutes of asynchronous time.
