Description:
The Summer Composition and Leadership Experience (S.C.A.L.E.) was a two-day workshop planned, organized, and executed by Swarank Music on May 31st and June 1st of 2025. This event intended to educate children aged 8–14 on basic concepts of musicianship, leadership, and composition. The workshop included two tracks, splitting students up into different classes based on their prior experience in music. Students were given the opportunity to compose their own original work and perform it in an exhibition at the end of the event. All worksheets, activities, and class materials were created independently by Swarank Music and its members. Swarank Music partnered with Special Abilities of North Texas (SANT), a nonprofit organization committed to working with specially abled adults in the community to teach them important life skills. Through enrollments in the workshop, Swarank was able to raise three thousand dollars for SANT. Learn more about Special Abilities of North Texas and their initiative here.
