THE SCHOOLHOUSE: HD video and music production studio
Little Schoolhouse Productions • FrontRowMusic.tv • ShumanRecording

"To uplift, to educate, to create and encourage positive values and to enhance the development and spread of the creative spirit."

Nestled in in a tranquil valley just west of Charles Town, West Virginia, and between two ridges of the Blue Ridge mountains sits the Jones Springs Schoolhouse. The construction is of stone, solid oak rafters, maple floors and plaster walls and was crafted to create two magical acoustic spaces. . There is a 'feel' in the school that transcends the basic stone and wood construction to create a down to earth vibe, not of this century. It's almost as if you can still hear the children singing and playing in the schoolyard. There is a magic there and an Aura that completely lends itself to the creative process. This is where we have built our state of the art recording studio.

In this beautiful location we produce HD video, record, mix and master some of the most exciting live music performances anywhere. We have Bluegrass, Blues, Country, Jazz ,Celtic and Gospel artists performing and recording there routinely . In addition to a live radio show format ,we package music performances for 28.5 minute TV broadcasts, create CD audio and DVD music video products, and distribute podcasts and downloads through FrontRownMusic.tv. We also create and license music for use in film, and and re-mix and master in 5.1 surround sound ..
