Dawn Anthony has served in the Charlotte area since the year 2000 as a teaching artist and even longer as a performer. She enjoys utilizing music and history to build bridges to promote unity. By partnering with other creative artists, learning and performing experiences are enhanced. Classically trained, she has often said that this training undergirds her ability to have such versatility in other genres and languages (Jazz, Folk, Showtunes and Gospel, etc.). Dawn earned her bachelor’s degree in music from Queens University of Charlotte, but still pursues her love for learning and teaching through cultural exchanges beyond the classroom.

Could it be? Yes! Music is a science in itself! This workshop utilizes technology to create music! The students will also explore “musical gadgets” that contemporary performers use and how to craft music with the average smart phone! During the assembly, the students will create a rhythm and/or music track and any class creation will be sent to the teacher or ASCAR to use or build upon!
