Album/Vinyl Club

Albums Club is for anyone interested in the exploration of several forms of art. Students are able to listen to vinyl records in their original form and have the opportunity to listen to the composition that either the artists, (or in the case of greatest hits albums) the record producers intended. This means that the pieces of music have a necessary flow to them. While doing this, students will get to use the music for inspiration to create writing, works of visual art, or both.
