This spring, 2nd-5th grades are releasing class albums!

When we do our music production unit, each student may submit 1 original song, which I will submit to Spotify, Apple Music, and most music streaming services. Students are not required to be on their class's album. Not all students are comfortable sharing their original music, and that’s okay! Each time a track is streamed, it will generate a fraction of a cent for the LES music program.

Why make albums?

1. Your kiddos are using music production software to create incredible audio projects! These albums will help us preserve, share, and celebrate their work!

2. To motivate our young musicians to try their very best as we practice creative expression and design thinking.

3. To practice what it means to be a musician, including how musicians today reach audiences online.
