Private lessons typically focus on teaching students various techniques associated with hiphop culture.
1. Emcee (Rapping): This element involves vocal performance, where participants learn the techniques of rhythm, rhyme, and storytelling. Classes may cover lyric writing, flow, and stage presence, helping students develop their unique voice in hiphop.
2. DJing: DJing classes teach the art of mixing and manipulating music. Students learn about turntables, beatmatching, scratching, and how to create seamless transitions between tracks. This element emphasizes the skills necessary to control the musical atmosphere at parties and events.
3. Breaking: (Breakdancing)-Breaking classes focus on the dance aspect of hiphop, teaching foundational moves such as top rock, footwork, freezes, and power moves. Students learn the importance of rhythm, body control, and creativity. We will always encouraged students to develop their personal style.
4. Graffiti Art: While not always a physical class, hiphop programs include workshops on graffiti art, teaching students about the history, techniques, and legal considerations of creating street art. Participants may explore various styles and mediums, encouraging self-expression through visual art.
5. Knowledge: This element encompasses the cultural, historical, and social aspects of hiphop. Classes may include discussions on the origins of hiphop, influential figures, and its impact on society. This component helps students understand the broader context of the art form and its significance.
We also focus on the monetization of these skill sets as an artist or music professional.
Music lessons, on the other hand, will cover a wide range of topics, including vocal training, instrument instruction, music theory, and songwriting. Depending on the student's interests, these lessons may involve learning to play an instrument (like guitar, piano, or drums), developing vocal techniques, or understanding music composition. Teaching Artist will provide personalized feedback and guidance, helping students to improve their technical skills while fostering their musical creativity.
