NaAC Songwriters: Becoming a Superstar  

Our NaAC Songwriters community class series continues this summer! We are thrilled to present “Becoming a Superstar,” an exciting program designed to unleash your musical persona and secure your place within the world of music superstars. Participants will create a musical persona, create band names and stories, and design how you, the Superstar, will represent yourself to your thousands of fans. You will also get to design a band logo and make a unique shirt to show off your band. Participants will create instruments using a selection of found materials and record crazy sounds to make a collaborative music composition. This program is perfect for anyone who loves music and wants to explore their inner Superstar. Join us this summer in a fun environment and unlock your music potential!
