Baldwin UFSD Featured in Newsday for Recording Studio
"Districts Share Plans for New, Innovative Programming"
With schools looking ahead to the most “normal” academic year since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we asked superintendents, “What new and innovative programs are being introduced within your district for the 2022-23 school year?” Here are responses from schools chiefs in Nassau County; the responses have been edited for length and clarity.
Baldwin Union Free School District
"As part of Baldwin Union Free School District’s ongoing effort to provide students with real-life, hands-on professional experiences across various career paths, we are excited to launch a state-of-the-art recording studio, which will allow for work-based learning in the field of music and sound engineering to take place right within our school system. Featuring a control room equipped with a sound recording and mixing console, a music room, a drum booth, vocal booth and podcast technology, the stylized and inspirational space will mirror the recording studios used in today’s music industry by veteran artists, music producers and sound engineers. Our students will fully engage with the studio technology in countless ways, whether creating a podcast for a history class or recording a “poetry slam” for an English project.
New courses centered on the field of sound engineering will also be made available to coincide with the studio launch, including Podcast Production, Music & Arts Sound Engineering, and Voice-Over Production. Immersing our students into the world of work will ensure that Baldwin High School graduates are that much more prepared for their future profession." - Dr. Shari L. Camhi, Superintendent of Baldwin Union Free School District
