Working Playground students in the Building Music/Music Production classes recorded a radio program of music they performed mainly on instruments they built themselves in class. This year's student artists are from the High School of Public Service in Brooklyn, Middle School 44 in Manhattan and John Adams Annex High School in Queens. The teaching artist is Paul Rubenstein. Also featured in the radio program are songs by students from last year's classes at Erasmus High and Thomas Jefferson High.
