Episode 8: Inside ETM's Inaugural High School Student Composition Contest

In this month's special episode, we explore the origins and impact of ETM's inaugural high school composition contest. The contest was based upon the ETM-authored music technology curriculum unit, "Trap Beats for Change," in which high school students produce an original composition by creating a trap beat and incorporating audio samples that promote a social justice cause. We speak with students, teachers, and ETM support staff to tell the story of this unique ETM experience and share clips of the moving student submissions that address issues of gun violence, racism, women's rights, and climate change. Tune in to listen to the voices of the ETM community and our talented partner school students as they share the inspiration and process behind their work.
