The workshop focuses its recruitment efforts on underrepresented groups, particularly students from lower socio-economic backgrounds in the New York tri-state area (see: inner-city youth). Students who participate in the program will learn about the creative process behind the writing and recording of hit songs, and will be exposed to the behind-the-scenes business decisions that delivers music to audiences around the world. Students will also learn about music entrepreneurship with an emphasis on today’s issues and trends throughout the music industry.
