Modeled after top-tier music production and composition labs from prestigious institutions like Berklee College of Music, each of the 15 student stations features an Apple Mac Mini M2, top-of-the-line MIDI keyboards, professional microphones, and more. These powerful setups provide our students with everything they need to create, produce, and master their musical projects.

Industry-Standard Learning

Students will work with industry-standard software like Logic Pro, delving into music fundamentals, recording techniques, audio editing, and much more. The program also includes exciting field trips to Hollywood composers' studios and recording facilities, offering real-world insights into the music industry.

Visionary Instructors

Daniele Truocchio, the visionary founder of the Crescendo Music Program, brings a wealth of experience and acclaim. A composer and music producer from Rome, Italy, his impressive portfolio includes recognition on the prestigious Forbes 30 Under 30 Entertainment list alongside artists like Adele and Rihanna. His compositions have graced feature films, mainstream television shows, and award-winning documentaries.

From studying classical composition and guitar at the Italian Conservatory to mastering Film Scoring at Berklee College of Music, Daniele’s journey underscores his deep-rooted expertise and passion for music education. Under his leadership, Crescendo attracts world-class instructors, including Grammy-nominated musicians and esteemed alumni from institutions like Juilliard and Berklee, ensuring that our students receive top-notch, inspiring instruction that prepares them for greatness.

Free After-School Workshops

Through the Crescendo Music Program, Scholarship Prep students have access to workshops in Drumline and Choir in addition to Music Lab. These programs are offered for free to students enrolled at Scholarship Prep as part of our after-school programming. Thanks to this partnership, our Scholars' musical abilities improve, and students are introduced to opportunities for college scholarships and careers in the arts.

Studies indicate that students engaged in music education exhibit better memory, language skills, and increased IQ levels. Additionally, music programs help build self-esteem and teamwork skills, providing a well-rounded educational experience.
