For Teens: The MusicEdge

Music and teens have always gone together-but it's just as important to make your own music as it is to listen.

Now, teens have access to a musical world all their own with themusicedge.com, the newest, most exciting way on the internet to get into music making.

Justin Timberlake quote
"Have you ever watched a movie with no score? You don't realize how music affects everything until it's taken away. I can't even imagine what a life without music would be like…You don't have to be Liberace, you don't have to be Beethoven, to learn music. I would love to walk into a school and see all these kids on computers sequencing their own music, whatever they like. To try something new, it takes an open mind."
-Justin Timberlake to AMC, 2002
