Music, like any art or form of expression, has an important role in the lives of many, and provides a good way for forming relationships and building community. For many Waterville residents and Colby students, music may even be a newfound passion, skill, and hobby if a space in the Downtown apartment building could offer the resources for people to get involved in music outside of the restrictions of the music department and current music programming in the city, while also requiring a welcoming (yet accountable) environment.<\/p><\/div>\n

Colby and in the community to not only grow from and expand their own musical experiences, but also share their musical love, skills, and passion with the youth, and other members of the city that lack opportunities to learn how to play and get involved with music (as well as potentially dance). This may be supported by adapting the academic requirements for music majors and minors to include a civic engagement option, allowing them to mentor children of all ages, musically, academically, and personally. The Rhapsody RapCity space may also be able to host woodworking and carpentry workshops, including instrument-making seminars, for reasonable costs, as well as other forms of musical education and engagement (such as teaching music theory and instrument classes, or organizing public events).<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div><!-- .tb-column-inner -->\n

For many Waterville residents and Colby students, music may even be a newfound passion, skill, and hobby if a space in the Downtown apartment building could offer the resources for people to get involved in music outside of the restrictions of the music department and current music programming in the city, while also requiring a welcoming (yet accountable) environment.<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/solid-state-logic.co.jp\/news\/article120612m.html?ID=452&#038;T=M\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" > <img src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/studio3.jpg\" alt=\"The RapCity Music Studio provides valuable resources for individual musicians (including rappers and singers) and musical groups to record, practice, and produce music.\"> <\/a> The RapCity Music Studio provides valuable resources for individual musicians (including rappers and singers) and musical groups to record, practice, and produce music.\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hensonrecording.com\/studiodcontrol1.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" > <img src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/studio1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"850\" title=\"Rhapsody RapCity Studio\" alt=\"Rhapsody RapCity Studio\"> <\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fmdesign.com\/sound-1\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" > <img src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/studio6.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"850\" title=\"Rhapsody RapCity Studio\" alt=\"Rhapsody RapCity Studio\"> <\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/427208714627438963\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" > <img src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/mic.png\" width=\"600\" height=\"850\" title=\"Rhapsody RapCity Studio\" alt=\"Rhapsody RapCity Studio\"> <\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.audio-issues.com\/recording-tips\/21-recording-studio-tips-for-a-smoother-session\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" > <img src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/studio5.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"850\" title=\"Rhapsody RapCity Studio\" alt=\"Rhapsody RapCity Studio\"> <\/a>\n<p>RapCity Studio also provides an opportunity for musicians at Colby and in the community to not only grow from and expand their own musical experiences, but also share their musical love, skills, and passion with the youth, and other members of the city that lack opportunities to learn how to play and get involved with music (as well as potentially dance). This may be supported by adapting the academic requirements for music majors and minors to include a civic engagement option, allowing them to mentor children of all ages, musically, academically, and personally. The Rhapsody RapCity space may also be able to host woodworking and carpentry workshops, including instrument-making seminars, for reasonable costs, as well as other forms of musical education and engagement (such as teaching music theory and instrument classes, or organizing public events).<\/p>\n<h3>Get Involved - Sign up for Studio Time and Music Lessons<\/h3>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/themify.me\/\" > JOIN US <\/a>\n<h2>RapCity BackCity Cafe\u00a0<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/explore\/pizza-restaurant\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" > <img src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/backcity5.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" title=\"Rhapsody RapCity Studio\" alt=\"Rhapsody RapCity Studio\"> <\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.estiluz.com\/en\/ambient\/maine-trendy-hospitality-lamp\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" > <img src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/cafe1-1024x725.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" title=\"Rhapsody RapCity Studio\" alt=\"Rhapsody RapCity Studio\"> <\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/newyork\/restaurants\/tribeca-restaurant-guide\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" > <img src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/backcity7.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" title=\"Rhapsody RapCity Studio\" alt=\"Rhapsody RapCity Studio\"> <\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/graffiti-artist.net\/restaurants\/greetings-from-emporium-chicago\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" > <img src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/backcity3.png\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" title=\"Rhapsody RapCity Studio\" alt=\"Rhapsody RapCity Studio\"> <\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/orlandoinformer.com\/blog\/graffiti-junktion-burger-side-attitude-thornton-park\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" > <img src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/backcity2.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" title=\"Rhapsody RapCity Studio\" alt=\"Rhapsody RapCity Studio\"> <\/a>\n<h3>The construction of an urban caf\u00e9 could be a beneficial addition to the Rhapsody Studio, as well as a venue through which to support local art and entrepreneurship.<\/h3>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.opentable.com\/r\/boiler-room-chicago\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" > <img src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/backcity1.jpg\" width=\"1876\" height=\"1332\" alt=\"Boiler Room in Chicago offers an image of what the storefront may look like.\"> <\/a> Boiler Room in Chicago offers an image of what the storefront may look like.\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.loggr.me\/21894\/chalk-wall-art-images\/ergonomic-chalk-wall-art-150-chalkboard-wall-art-for-sale-home-is-wherever-im\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" > <img src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/chalkwall2.png\" width=\"1032\" height=\"724\" title=\"Rhapsody RapCity Studio\" alt=\"Rhapsody RapCity Studio\"> <\/a>\n<h3>Urban Cafe with Unique Maine Character<\/h3><p>The RapCity BackCity Cafe is a unique alternative to big name corporations and chains for Colby to incorporate into the retail\/dining space of the Downtown dorm.
