Woodshed is a centralized platform dedicated to teaching the basics of music making. Woodshed is founded by hue, a creative collective based out of Yale University. We believe in youth-led education by students, for students.
Currently piloting in New Haven, CT.
It's simple: students don't learn the music they listen to in school. Instead, we learned how to make beats through the internet.
We consider music to be a universal language, one that everyone is familiar with. Why start with teaching Beethoven when you can start with Playboi Carti?
At its heart, music has three basic components: rhythm, melody, and harmony. Defined simply, music is just "organized sound."
We hope to revolutionize and democratize music and music education.
Woodshed incorporates a community-based approach to teaching music. The internet is our classroom, and every user is both a student and a teacher.
Free from notation and classical theory, our Course teaches the basic of modern music-making using the music students listen to.
Our own community forum for our students to share the music they're making and learn from each other.
A collection of further learning resources for after our course.
Crucial to musical practice is listening. We've compiled a list of notable musicians and albums within each major musical genre.
