NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – Youth in Newport News who are musically inclined, or want to learn more, will have an opportunity to do so through a program offered by the City of Newport News.
In a partnership with Life Power Music Programs, Newport News will offer a 16-week beat making class for youth ages 11 to 18, according to city officials.
Classes start on January 30, and will be held every Tuesday evening from 6 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. at the South Morrison Family Education Center on 746 Adams Drive.
The city says students will engage with music technology to create beats using loops, samples and music production software.
