October Music Workshop and 2x4 Showcase

Cleveland Rocks: PPF’s Professional Development Workshops are held on the third Monday of the month from 7-9pm at the Cleveland Rocks Shop (15801 Waterloo Rd.). Each workshop will focus on a different music-related topic with discussions from 7-8pm, followed by a 2×4 Songwriter Showcase from 8-9pm featuring 4 different artists, 2 songs each.

Curated by Afi Scruggs

Afi Scruggs is the head of the new Creative Aging Department at the Music Settlement, which provides music education and performance opportunities for people 55+.

She'll share insights from her first year on the job: what people are looking for when it comes to performing and learning; how internalized stereotypes inhibit creativity; whether people "age" out of music making. She'll also solicit advice from experienced musicians about expanding and maintaining their music careers.

Afi is a keyboardist and bass player. She's produced music for the award-winning Ideastream podcast, "Living for We," and taught fundamentals of making drum loops to elementary and middle-school students. https://afiplaysmusic.com
