STUDIOS FOR SCHOOLS AT HAPPY SUNDAYS!

STUDIOS FOR SCHOOLS is proud to be a part of Happy Sundays events July 21 and August 25. We will be selling pins and totes at the events, come show your support!

SUPPORT SELF-EXPRESSION

Hearing about the tragedy in Florida and the FBI’s absolute failure to prevent it has been as heartbreaking and frustrating for me as I’m sure it has been for you. It doesn’t make sense to me that there’s talk of giving teachers guns while classes like art and music are being eliminated from curriculums across the country. I believe that giving students something they are passionate about will help prevent these horrible things from happening.

I started Studios For Schools to give students the chance to fall in love with something like I did, to give them at least the chance to be exposed to this amazing ability that humans created, the ability to record and manipulate sound. As much as it pains me to give this government any money, I am $600 away from being able to turn in the application for make Studios For Schools a legitimate tax exempt 501(c)(3) entity. I have pins and bags that I want to give to anyone who will help me reach this goal.

If anyone feels like supporting this cause, please PayPal as much as you want to studiosforschools@gmail.com. Make sure you pay using the Friends and Family GIFT option to avoid thePayPal fees. Please include your shipping address and I will send you a pin, a button and a bag and thanks for supporting Studios For Schools.

New Console… Finally!

When my dad asked for my help building the studio at Santiago High School, I was all for it. I gathered as much of the equipment that I’ve collected over the years and tried to frankenstein them into something that would work until I could raise the funds to give those whippersnappers something proper to learn on. It wasn’t easy because most of my equipment is uh, tricky to use, having been charred in that fire and spent years in dusty solitude. Trying to teach and learn on my console was challenging to say the least, but thanks to everyone who bought the items for sale in the last auction run, I was able to buy this Allen and Heath GL2200 24 channel ANALOG console! Knobs that turn, faders that fade, and outputs that put out! It works like a charm and is easy to learn on, and I feel like now the studio is finally fully operational. Obviously this is just the bare bones of a recording studio, but it’s a huge moment for me and for the class because it all FINALLY came together. I am currently reaching out and collecting more goodies to auction off soon, and will definitely make announcements about each one. Thanks again to everyone for all their support! Cheers!
