This program centers youth voices and experiences to support these young musicians engage in ongoing inquiry and development that they can apply throughout their lives and careers.

  I am a co-designer and on the leadership team of the J Dilla Music Tech Grant Initiative (with the Save The Music Foundation) via the Consortium for Innovation and Transformation in Music Education (CITME) at Arizona State University. CITME plays an important role in the J Dilla Music Tech grant by providing grantees with professional development and support. We work with our partners to develop resources, curricula, and related pedagogy to help the grantees. Director of CITME, Dr. Evan Tobias is also facilitating action research for which each grantee earns 45 hours of professional development. Aspects of the grant program are also integrated with a number of courses at ASU such as Art of Teaching Contemporary Musicians, Beatmaking, Digital Hybrid Lab, Digital and Participatory Culture in Music, and our Sound and Music Innovation Lab (SMIL).
