Update

To give you a little info and background on the classmates I am with..

Brandon: He is a southern boy!!! Grew up in a small town outside of Atlanta, Georgia in the US.. great off the wall sense of humor!

Micah: Came from Pune, India ... Though mostly considered a "states kid" .. He grew up between the United States and India as a "M" kid. .. Amazing at composing lyrics and chord progressions!

Jason: Also known as "Jaso".. born in Arizona, USA.. but moved to Australia as a kid.
Has a gift to attract youth who rub against the grain... if you get what I'm saying.
Phillip: Born and raised in Victoria Australia

Dara: Dara is the only other girl with me and she is from Vancouver BC Canada... Dara sweet Dara has the voice of Ben Harper and Lauryn Hill's none existing love child.

Then there's Morgan our head school leader whom we lovingly call "Momma Mo" .. and she is from Colorado.. and there are 2 other school leaders Sarah who is from New York City, New York United States .. and Also Bec who is from Canada.

Together we have been studying social injustice world wide, learning and grasping new statistics on prostitution, and human trafficking..Statistics that are alarming to us. We are praying for the social injustice to come to an end, with this generation leading the fight. Along with learning about the needs of certain nations we are becoming well equipped and furthering our gifting in music. To combine the knowledge and heart for the Nations that we have to bring awarness to the issue behind human trafficking and prostitution.

Last week we cut deep into song writing... where we learned poetry, rhyming schemes, personifications, alliterations, and assonances and such to enhance our communication and lyrical writing skills. We also cut deep into studying structure and composition of songs as well.

This week we are learning about recording and audio engineering in depth. We learned about how microphones work, and which mic works best for particular jobs. We also learned about sound waves, volume decibels,tones, vibrations, harmonics and how it all relates to when recording.. It's hard to attempt to spill it out so you can all understand unless you can see the relation of everything I am sharing now.

I am learning way more then I thought I would in the music realm which is excellent. Truthfully I feel like I am being further trained in excellence for the Lord.

We are now trying to raise money for the second half of the school.. So I'm asking you to please just pray.. Pray if you are to give or if you are to be in continual prayer support!

Anyway I have to get back to writing a song for Friday now..

Peace,
