Bandlab Music Makers

PS 282 students produced their own music during Thrive Collective’s winter 2020 School Media after school program using BandLab. They talk about the importance of creating music during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I don’t like hearing about coronavirus, when people die and stuff. But as Mr. Josh says, if you feel something, let it out in music! When I let it out, I feel like it’s gone.”

Special thank you to teaching artist Joshua Labidou, our collaborating partner Projectivity Group, NYC Council Member Brad Lander, the NYC Council Digital Inclusion Initiative, the NYC Dept. of Youth and Community Development, Principal Rodriguez and the staff of PS 282, and our participating students.

Enjoy the students’ music.
