Let the Beat Build Foundation

We are a dedicated non-profit organization that uses music technology as an alternative learning solution with an emphasis on mental wellness through creativity for youth. As a learning partner with DCoL and Big Thought our BUILD IT program thrives on leading the whole individual by teaching them how to create their own music using music technology while harmoniously blending in mental health screenings, life coaching, the core competencies of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and academic learning, regardless of their skill level or background. Unlike traditional music programs, which focus on the performance of a pre-existing musical piece, G-League Academy illuminates creative expression through music creation. Students make their own music based on their own thoughts, beliefs and emotions. This creative process is called Music Production and with a few exceptions, is not implemented anywhere in school music programs: primary or secondary schools. Through our music production, mental health, social emotional learning and academic (Computer Science, ELAR, Math and Arts) subject matter learning targets, activities and events, students will be able to show demonstrations of learning for each course in our curricula that builds learning readiness skills, mental wellness, improves awareness in self, others and decision-making all while enhancing their creativity, problem-solving, communication, community and collaboration.
