You have to perform to get that, and then when you marry that with the technology and you give the kids the ability to have a real recording studio to work with, they’re going to be the next Steven Spielberg, or the next Paul McCartney.” “It’s that performing arts experience that gives them leadership skills, confidence, team work, all of those soft skills that businesses want. “We don’t just focus on the technology,” Knight says.

“I would record all the parts on my iMac, in Logic Pro X and GarageBand, and I’d record them all, isolate them and I would teach it to my peers.” What began as a music club singing rock covers is now a hands-on music education curriculum designed to teach students visual and performing arts, as well as the technical skills needed to succeed in the music industry. Then the student producers narrow those songs down, and the kids that like to write songs audition for the staff.” “We have all the student leaders break the kids into groups of like five or six kids and the simple instruction is pick 10 songs that you would die to perform live, that are new. “It was imperative to let the students create a show that they wanted,” says Knight. Grant Durazzo, a vocal student at Huntington Beach Academy for the Performing Arts singing John Legend’s “Start a Fire.” Fifteen years later, the program has grown to include 152 students majoring in MMET Popular Music and MMET Media, who are writing their own music, arranging songs with Simmons and performing live in three major shows a year: a Beatles show, “Playlist” and “Retrofest.” “Playlist” is now in its seventh year. His small class of 25 students was performing Cheap Trick and other rock ’n’ roll songs at a few restaurants, and even the Apple Store at Fashion Island in Newport Beach. The school also houses a recording studio with a guitar room across the hall, and several other collaborative music creation spaces the students are encouraged to use whenever they feel inspired.īack in 2004, Knight started teaching a class on music technology and recording at APA, but there was no technology. In the school’s auditorium, students use a Yamaha CL5 digital mixer, and have even rigged it to be portable, monitoring and controlling sound levels around the theater on an iPad Pro. The program is incorporated into nine of APA’s available theater and music majors, giving students hands-on training in fields including theater tech, audio recording and video production (using Logic Pro X and Final Cut Pro X, respectively). MMET is the brainchild of Apple Distinguished Educator (ADE) alum Jamie Knight (MMET’s first director) and ADE Michael Simmons, along with Huntington Beach APA. “Playlist” features 37 songs, including 13 student originals accompanied by their own music videos edited in Final Cut Pro X. It’s clear these are not just students they are true musicians. Get it through your head, get it through your head, that we all bleed red,” she sings.

This year, 13 vocal students have prepared their own original songs, alongside 24 covers of some of today’s pop music hits.Ĭailey Collado, a senior in the Music, Media and Entertainment Technology (MMET) program, takes the stage to run through her original song: “Bleed Red.” As her voice booms over the mic, three stage screens weave a live feed of Collado’s performance and a student-produced music video.
