The Creative Musical Arts and Sciences (CMAS) program at Arcadia High School is a program where students can gain real-world experience in the recording industry, where they can explore their own creative processes and are basically running a record label out of their classroom.
Andrea spent some time with this program as an intern and student teacher, and her time there has helped me in developing this website. During her time there, she was able to work with students to create tutorial videos to help explain some of the equipment and how it works.
