About this class

Help local musicians get their music out of the garage and into the community! Join the 801 Sessions team and learn to support and promote the local youth music scene as you navigate how to put on shows and document live performances. In this class, you will learn how to:

  • book local youth bands, 
  • make music videos,
  • host live concerts, 
  • and create promotional posters and digital ads for real live shows! 

Plus, you’ll earn a $200 stipend for your work: students are expected to complete all projects in order to earn the stipend.

Applications close January 5th.

Allyson Katana (she/her)

Musical Arts Mentor

I’m Allyson Katana, the Musical Arts Mentor at Spy Hop. I teach Original Songwriting, Rockband, Music Promotion, and Musicology.

I’ve worked on all sides of the music industry, from selling records at Graywhale and music gear at Guitar Center, to booking/promoting concerts and events at venues like Kilby Court, the Beehive, Diabolical Records, and more! I’ve been writing, recording, and making music for the last fifteen years (both solo and with my friends) and have been a touring musician on and off for the last five years. I play bass, guitar, piano, sing, and am currently working on improving my skills with the drums and cello.

As a former Spy Hop Alumni, I’m excited to be teaching all the classes that changed my life over ten years ago! If you see me in the hallways, please say hi—I love chatting, meeting new people, and getting new music recommendations.
