The idea
Bringing awe and community to the classroom
Conduction Education enables students to compose digital songs, then see them come to life performed by local musicians or their own classmates. Imagine composing a digital song, then seeing it come to life by real life humans. This is awe; this is amazement; this is empowerment, all brought to the classroom.
How it works
From a laptop to a live band, in three steps
Conduction turns a digital session into real sheet music, puts it in front of working musicians, and brings the performance back to the student who wrote it.
- 01
Students compose
A student opens Conduction on any classroom laptop and builds a song, mixing genres and styles, experimenting with instruments, melodies and rhythms.
No prior training needed. No instrument required.
- 02
The session becomes sheet music
Their digital session is turned into real notation and sent to working musicians, who rehearse the parts exactly as the student arranged them.
Drums, bass, guitar, keys and more.
- 03
The song comes back alive
The composition returns performed by local artists, their own classmates, or Symphony members, and the student hears their own idea played by real people.
This is the moment the classroom changes.
The moment
A student hears their own song played by real people.
No sheet music to decode first. No instrument to master first. Just the shock of recognizing something you made, performed back to you by a live band.

What makes Conduction great is it supports the National Core Art Standards while flipping the script on traditional approaches. It is all about the students. We really look forward to rolling out Conduction throughout Pittsburgh Public Schools in the coming years.
Seeing students’ expressions when they hear their creations played back to them is truly unforgettable. Without a formal music program at PHCSE, Conduction provides a unique and innovative way for students to connect with music.
It has been really fun for me to watch the students become more and more interested in the program once their songs started coming back live. Conduction has allowed me to broaden my lessons, in a really unique way.
