Teens Make Music for Our Ears in Lyricism 101 Program

The Boys & Girls Club of the Capital Area launched the Lyricism 101 program in 2018. Through this program, participants learn how to write, record, and produce music using state-of-the-art music production technology. Teen club members learn to express their worries, dreams, and life stories through music production. Young people can participate in the Lyricism program both onsite at the Albany and Troy clubhouses and in the Lyricism 101 van outfitted with a full recording studio. The van travels to areas where teens live and hang out and encourages them to work together to produce music. Foundation funding supports the staffing of the program in both Albany and Troy.
