The Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment and City University of New York’s Creative Arts Team, in partnership with NY Is Music, recently launched Sound Thinking NYC, a new education and career path program for young women in high school.
The free program is designed to provide a pipeline into careers in the music industry where women are under-represented. This program introduces young people to careers in music production, audio technology and sound recording while providing leadership opportunities.
Young people received hands-on experience, including field trips to places such as Downtown Music Studios, Platinum Sound Recording Studios, MONOLisa Studios and Flavorlab. The Summer Intensive concludes July 27 when students will present their final projects that showcase what they learned within the production field.
