A song can be silly, or serious and deep. Join Latin Grammy winners 123 Andrés for this bilingual songwriting workshop. Collaborate with fellow teens to write a song. We’ll start with a theme, brainstorm ideas, and lay down a melody and a beat using a looper pedal. Before you know it, we will have our own work of art!
