| Metheny & The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus, the unique non-profit mobile recording and multimedia studio, will host public tours and demonstrations at Music Player Live (MPL). The Lennon Bus will have highly respected musician Pat Metheny on-board working with students from area schools to write and record an original composition on October 22. Participants in the Bus workshops, which are conducted free of charge at schools across the country, write an original song, perform and record it, videotape it, and go home with a completed music video on a Maxell DVD. The tours that the public attending the expo will experience are conducted by the on-board engineers who introduce the two studio environments, explaining and demonstrating record and video production, and introducing an array of opportunities within the music and multimedia industries. Each visitor will also receive “goody bags” courtesy of Maxell Corporation, Disc Makers, themusicedge.com, Digidesign, and Guitar Player Magazine. Demonstrations of Brian Moore Guitars’ innovative iGuitar and of GarageBand software are another feature of the Bus’ visit. The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus is a non-profit state-of-the-art mobile recording and multimedia studio that provides music and video education programs for young people. In its eighth year, the endeavor is an offshoot of the 9 year old John Lennon Songwriting Contest, dedicated to providing opportunities for both professional and amateur songwriters around the world. The Bus travels across America year-round, providing visitors with free, hands-on experiences using the latest audio and video technology, gear and products. The John Lennon Songwriting Contest and Educational Tour Bus are made possible by an agreement with Yoko Ono Lennon. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Jazz News :: home page |
