Fresh & Free Studio
Our Partnership with Fresh and Free Studio
At Nancy Campbell Academy, we believe in providing students with real-world tools and professional experiences. Our unique, on-campus partnership with Fresh and Free Studios is a cornerstone of this commitment, offering students an unparalleled opportunity to learn and create in a state-of-the-art recording facility.
A Professional Studio in the Heart of Our School
Located right here at NCA, Fresh and Free Studios is a fully operational, professional recording studio run by owner, musician, and NCA teacher, Karim Rushdy. This is not just a school computer lab; it’s a dynamic, creative space where local artists record, produce, and mix their own music. This unique integration gives our students daily access to professional-grade technology and an environment buzzing with real artistic energy.
Hands-On Learning with an Industry Mentor
Through our ComTech classes, Music Club, and other special projects, students gain invaluable, practical experience under the guidance of Mr. Rushdy. The focus is on authentic creation, from learning the technical skills of recording and editing to the art of crafting powerful original work. Students are encouraged to write songs with excellent melodies, memorable rhythms, and inspiring lyrics, developing their creative voice in a supportive, hands-on environment.
