EMP|SFM (Experience Music Project|Science Fiction Museum) was founded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen in 2000. It’s vision is to celebrate the creative process, engage the imagination, and inspire personal expression in current and future generations. To this end, each year EMP hosts day camps & teenage workshops to encourage “a journey of artistic exploration and self-discovery.”

For the past two years Tai Shan has been involved with EMP’s workshops. This year, (August, 2010), she taught the Songwriting Camp, where students wrote, performed, and recorded their own songs. Her students included Carina Andrews, Ethan Shell, Herline Theard, Cameron Sonju, Robert Gunn and Emily Stafford
