Ascend through Music
About
Ascend through Music has been serving the Baltimore and DC areas since 2016. Designed and directed by Christina Campbell (current Director of Music Programs), Ascend through Music provides musical opportunities for youth by connecting music to their lives and the world.
Participants are exposed to different facets of music making in the music industry and other creative fields, focusing on development in music production, playing instruments, recording, songwriting, vocal technique, and performing. Ascend offers a variety of program opportunities including one-on-one creative mentoring, group sessions, drop-in programs, recording sessions, special events and performances, as well as college and career help. The program's mission is to foster creativity, positive expression, and confidence through music.
Though many of the programs are primarily for students ages 7-20, anyone who wants to learn and grow creatively won’t be turned away; Ascend is dedicated to supporting creative growth!
