Music is an important tool for young people’s development. It helps the body and mind work together and builds confidence. Music can help adolescents release or control emotions, and helps coping with difficult situations.
The Music Clubhouse at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Lowell provides space for young people to interact with music in a way that meets their needs. From small group lessons, performance, working in the recording studio, learning about sound engineering and editing, composing, podcasting and more – Club members learn skills that support their social and emotional learning and mental health. In addition, the Music Clubhouse uses modern technology and techniques that are applicable in real-world job settings.
