GRAMMY Camp is an interactive residential summer program for students that focuses on all aspects of the commercial music industry. The curriculum is led by core faculty, guest artists, and music professionals, across a range of career tracks. GRAMMY Camp covers all aspects of creating, performing, and recording, and it culminates in media projects, CD recordings, and/or showcase performances. In the summer of 2010, Converse came onboard and allowed GRAMMY Campers to participate in their “Connectivity Campaign.”

An additional element that was incorporated into the curriculum included the Social Networking and New Media Activity, during which guest professionals worked with teams of campers to create and identify strategies to promote camper-created viral videos. GRAMMY in the Schools program alumni were enlisted to help with new media and social networking for these outreach efforts. “Thank you so much for your amazing week with The program is hosted by the University of Southern California Thornton our son.

This special evening, which was open to the public, showcased the GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles, along with student alumni from GRAMMY Camp and GRAMMY Signature Schools, with special guest artists Mindi Abair, Brian Culbertson, and Boney James.

On July 23, 2010, Keith Urban, three-time GRAMMY winner and one of country music’s most successful and influential artists, headlined the GRAMMY Foundation’s signature benefit Starry Night concert at the Los Angeles Tennis Center at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Following a successful fundraising program launched for MusiCares in 2009, the GRAMMY Foundation initiated a series of House Concerts in 2010.

The GRAMMY Foundation’s GRAMMY in the Schools initiatives would not be possible without the remarkable support received from a number of corporate partners:

Campbell’s Labels for Education In 2009, The GRAMMY Foundation was named the first philanthropic partner of the newly refreshed Labels for Education (LFE) program. The GRAMMY Foundation secured a number of high profile “Artist Ambassadors” to join the LFE effort. These Ambassadors made appearances at selected schools to emphasize the importance of music education. In addition the GRAMMY Foundation created an exclusive curriculum entitled “Discovery Through Music.” The curriculum focuses on using music as a tool for learning across many different disciplines. It is offered free to any school that signs up for LFE. The GRAMMY Foundation continued its partnership with LFE in 2010. In-store promotions featuring the GRAMMY Foundation were run in regional supermarket chains. 20 By the end of fiscal year 2010 the Discovery Through Music curriculum had been downloaded by over 12,000 schools nationwide.

Best Buy At the National GRAMMY Career Day in 2010, Best Buy pledged to partner with the GRAMMY Foundation to raise $1 million in funding to support music education programs in schools around the country. Funding will be raised from a variety of cause marketing activities over the course of the year.

Sound Matters Sound Matters is a cause marketing partnership between the GRAMMY Foundation, the Starkey Hearing Foundation and Best Buy. Launched in 2008 the campaign continued through both 2009 and 2010 focusing on the sale of in-ear headphones at over 900 Best Buy stores around the country. The campaign also reinforces the importance of hearing conservation among young music fans.
