We’re excited to share that our Teaching Assistant, Jack, has launched a brand‑new Music Production Club afterschool at Horace Mann Middle School in El Portal. Students jumped right in—exploring beats, learning the basics of digital audio, and discovering new ways to express themselves through music.

Thank you to the Horace Mann team for welcoming MusicReach into your community. We’re looking forward to building something meaningful together.

🎶 Meet Harmoni, a freshman in the Music Education program here at Frost!

“I’m most excited about teaching my student the fundamental concepts and techniques needed to make her a well-rounded musician in the 21st century. In other words, I want her to be able to thrive in any musical setting she finds herself in — whether that’s sight-reading, playing by ear, or understanding the networking and communication side of being a musician!”

Harmoni was actually a MusicReach mentee for four years before joining as a mentor — a true full-circle moment! 🌟
