MR. MARC’S RAISE THE BAR ONLINE
Hi! I’m an “on leave” NYC DOE licenced vendor & afterschool teacher at 4 elementary schools in Park Slope Brooklyn, including PS. 118, PS. 321, PS. 107, and PS. 10.
I miss teaching my kids in the classroom! So going LIVE online had to be done! I am excited to offer private Spring and Summer Sessions for Raise The Bar, virtual hip hop songwriting and recording class for grades 3-5
Current students, past students, and students around the world are strongly encouraged to sign up.
My course requires no parental guidance. I offer 1 hour of fully contained face to face songwriting and recording sessions.
Please see below for pre-registration & registration information
for the remaining school year AND Summer 2020!

Working through live virtual classroom sessions, a group of 10 students learn the ins and outs of collaborative songwriting and recording of a structured group Hip Hop song.
Students record vocals easily using an extremely simple online audio recording program, and can choose to rap, sing the chorus, or “ghost write” (play a role in writing but not recording or appearing on the song)
Recordings are easily forwarded to my email address. I then insert, mix, and master vocals into the group song.
Students receive a professionally mixed and mastered MP3 of the song. They are guided by an established Billboard Charts and Rolling Stone Magazine featured artist known to us as Mr. Marc.
Mr. Marc will conduct an initial 10 minute interview to determine eligibility. Students receive official Raise The Bar acceptance letters.
