We’re building the next generation of live-music professionals 📈🎶 Introducing our new Songbirds initiative designed to take students behind the scenes—from live audio and lighting to event coordination, talent buying, stage crew, marketing, and every detail that makes a show come alive. With real partners, real venues, and real hands-on experience, students will leave with resumes, references, and a growing network of industry contacts. This is where passion meets opportunity… and where future careers begin!

Have you heard?! 🗣️👂 We’re one week into our end of year giving campaign, and we need your support!

The entire video was filmed and voiced by students who are learning real skills in recording, storytelling, and collaboration. Their work captures what happens every day at Songbirds and why access to creative learning matters. Your monthly support helps us keep these experiences within reach for young people across our region. Check the comments below for a link to support!

LUDACRIS X THE STUDENTS!

Our students had the opportunity to create content for Ludacris (and dang near all of his friends) at !! This sort of project is the ultimate opportunity for students to apply what they’ve learned in our programs at the absolute highest level in the real world (tbh, you cant get any higher than this).

The collaboration between The Ludacris Foundation, the Tech Tunes Program, and our team was unreal — and it set the pace for some wild projects in the future.

Checkout the vid shot by our students and stick around for their take at the end!

Keep your eyes peeled for more 👀

Be sure to show the student content team some love

Every instructor at Songbirds helps students turn creativity into something meaningful. In this short video, you will see how mentorship, hands-on learning, and real tools can open doors. Levi Scarboro, our instructor at Chattanooga Preparatory School, has been working with his class on how to create their own musical beats based on real-world industry standards! 🎧🎵

“My students have completely come out of their shells through Write to Rock. They have built a meaningful relationship with each other, and they have a greater sense of belonging at school because of this new creative outlet. They’ve been inspired through songwriting to be a fuller version of themselves.” Lauren Cardenas (DuPont Elementary Music Teacher)

This is the type of impact we're talking about! Self-discovery is one of many ways we connect to students, and Lauren sees this within this semester's afterschool Write to Rock program. Your monthly support helps us bring these experiences to more students across Chattanooga. Even $5 a month keeps creativity within reach. Join our goal of reaching 100 monthly donors this year!!
