About our students
Crafting Sound Masters of Tomorrow
We provide the audio engineer classes with the goal to prepare those students interested in learning with the right skills and knowledge needed to become successful in this field. Our music production program is important because we provide well detailed classes that educate students on how to make a beat from scratch using two different softwares; FL Studios and Logic. Our artist development program is needed because many of these students are not experienced on how to write music or how to properly record inside of a booth. We teach them how to record, develop a sound, and help them with their image for video production.
Empowering Future Audio Engineers
Our mentoring program is a way for us to connect with our students at a more personal level. We provide a safe haven for those that may not have one and keep them away from street violence and misfortunes. With crime rates as high as they are right now, our programs prevent the youth from getting incarcerated or even murdered. We organize the Turning Up the Youth Show to provide a platform for our students to develop their talent and to experience performing in front of a crowd. Most of these students don’t have the means, resources nor connections to be part of a show. We provide Hair Cut weekends because we value our students and want them to feel confident about themselves in all aspects and look presentable. We know some of our students don’t have the means to get routine haircuts so we make sure to provide it once a month.
Transforming Aspiring Engineers
Our basketball tournaments are great because it’s a way for all students attending the programs to meet and interact with one another and develop new potential friendships. Merch weekends are essential because we give back to the students for continuing their studies while pursuing their dreams. At no cost, they decide whether they’d like a customized t-shirt or hoodie.
Our students love being part of our programs and representing Turning Up the Youth any chance they get.. They come from various economic backgrounds and are very appreciative for the merch they recieve.
