SOUND

SESSIONS

WORKSHOPS,
KABOOM-STYLE

What if music education didn’t end with the bell? What if students could rehearse with a touring band, work on a live album, and perform on a world-class stage, all while learning how the industry actually works?

Sound Sessions is Kaboom Studio Orchestra’s signature educational program bringing production-based learning into the classroom and onto the stage. Designed in collaboration with school districts, artists, and industry professionals, each Sound Sessions experience is a fully immersive, multi-day event that ends in a public performance and optional professional recording.
