The Hip-Hop & Urban Music Project (THUMP)
The Hip-Hop and Urban Music Project™ (THUMP) is one of Ethos’ core programs and has been designed to reach students who are not served by conventional music programs. THUMP is currently offered in schools and also at Ethos Music Center on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Using the popularity of contemporary music as a springboard, Ethos’ THUMP program uses Hip-Hop as a way to bridge the digital divide created by socioeconomic disparities. This program uses computers and digital technology to teach Hip-Hop fundamentals like sampling, beat making, lyricism (MC’ing), break dancing, turntablism (DJ’ing), video recording and editing.
