THE SONG LAB

The new songwriting class is led by Stax alumni and prominent Memphis musicians inside The Song Lab, a music facility designed by Levi's and Justin Timberlake, who donated an additional USD100,000 to establish a scholarship fund that will help even more Memphis area youth take their music education to the next level.

justintimberlake When I was younger, growing up in Memphis our school music program was cut.

That one hurt. I know first hand how music can impact the way kids learn... So I teamed up with @levis to launch the Levis Music Project — and open a songwriting class and a fully equipped studio space for the students of @staxmusicacademy in my hometown. Big thanks to @timbaland, @theonlydanja, @robknox_, and @soirodgers for coming with us and working with the students on their music. And special thanks to our partners who donated and made this all possible: @shure @gibsonguitar @guitarcenter @nativeinstruments @uaudio @korgofficial @voxamplification @blackstaramps
