John Forte To Teach At City College

Almost three months after rapper/producer John Forte was released from prison, the Brooklyn born musician is already trying to make an impact in the lives of local teenagers.

On March 31, Forte will serve as a teacher with the Arms Reach Program, a program created to improves the lives of at risk teens and children of incarcerated parents.

As part of the program, Forte will teach a 12-week music therapy course at the City College of New York to students ages 12 to 15. Forte’s music therapy course will teach students how to use music as a way to relieve stress, anger, and other negative emotions.

“John hopes that the catharsis of song composition will help children deal with the stigma of having a family member who is incarcerated and rebuild the spirit of those who have been traumatized or abandoned,” a representative for John Forte told AllHipHop.com.
