Make a Joyful Noize

In this set of learning experiences, students will be asked to explore different ways that musical artists respond to the world around them. The featured artists of Soul Science Lab—Chen Lo and Asante Amin—give students a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of their musical world, including examinations of how culture represents itself through music, the importance of collaboration, and music as a means of self-expression. As students engage with Soul Science Lab’s music, lyrics, and inspiration, they will also be challenged to forge their own identities as creators. Through the development of new lyrics and music, young songwriters will have a chance to respond to the world around them in meaningful ways.
