ANNUAL REPORT 2012-2013

September 1, 2012 – August 31, 2013

IN-SCHOOL MUSIC EDUCATION PROGRAMS

Education Through Music- (ETM-LA) expanded its in-school music programs for underserved student populations with the mission to provide and promote the integration of music into the curricula of disadvantaged schools in order to enhance students' academic performance and creative and general development. Over 5,000 students received free yearlong music instruction during the school day in the following partner schools: Castelar Elementary, Cleveland Elementary, Dorris Place Elementary, El Dorado Elementary, Foster Elementary, Norwood Elementary, Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, Providencia Elementary, Rio Vista Elementary, St. Ignatius, St. Sebastian, and West Hollywood Elementary Schools.

ETM-LA provided 45-min weekly music classes at each partner school on a yearlong basis with a variety of music disciplines– including violin, cello, guitar, recorder, general music, and chorus. The programs at each school were tailored to meet the needs of each population based on the vision of the Principal with guidance from ETM-LA. Students at all partner schools performed in two concerts to showcase their musical learning in the Fall and Spring semesters.

To support the quality of instruction in the classroom and teaching artists’ ability to educate children, ETM-LA provided ongoing mentorship and evaluation of its music teachers by multiple staff (Executive Director, Program Director, and other veteran teachers). In September 2012, ETM-LA held its weeklong intensive Summer Training Institute for its new and returning music teachers and guest teaching artists from other arts organizations. The institute focused on topics including Lesson Planning, Classroom Management, Integration, Creative Strategies, Assessment of Student Learning, Concert Preparation and Presentation, Singing Technique, Strings Methods, Teaching Copyright, and Pedagogy (Orff, Kodaly, Dalcroze, Suzuki, et al.). ETM-LA was grateful to have experts in the music education fields facilitate including Program Director Ryan Rowles, Artis & Actor Ed Helms, Composer , and Choral Director Misha Shtangrud. ETM-LA held additional workshops throughout the year on relevant topics such as Working with Student Populations with Special Needs, Music Technology, Student Assessment, and

Professional development for academic teachers was held throughout the year through their participation in the music classes and learning alongside their students. By joining the music learning, teachers explore and develop: • Thinking skills and content areas common to music and other academic subjects that can support learning in a range of areas, • Value of teaching music inside and outside the academic classroom, and • Coordination of instruction to reinforce the identified skills and content.

COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS & ENGAGEMENT

ETM-LA continues to build capacity among school and community members to sustain programs for the future; at each school, ETM- LA collaborates with the PTA to host a community concert to raise awareness and support for the program. ETM-LA and LA’s Best of the Mayor’s Office continued programming afterschool as further enrichment to provide 6 hours of musical training and orchestra at Castelar (60 students) and El Dorado (40 students) Elementary Schools. With USC Thornton Outreach and the USC Neighborhood Outreach Initiative, ETM-LA expanded its strings program at the Norwood Elementary School. ETM-LA continued its partnerships with YOLA (LA Philharmonic’s Youth Orchestra Los Angeles initiative), USC Thornton School of Music Outreach, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, and other arts organizations to provide additional opportunities.

In November 2012, we celebrated our 7th Year Anniversary with a Benefit Gala at the Skirball Cultural Center honoring legendary Academy-Award Winning Composer and Veteran Music Teacher Linda Mouradian, featuring performances by Renowned Cellist Lynn Harrell, Los Angeles Philharmonic Associate Concertmaster Bing Wang, Los Angeles Philharmonic Pianist Joanne Pearce Martin, along with Education Through Music-LA music students.

In the Spring 2013, 150 students from all 12 partner schools came together to perform at ETM-LA’s 3rd Annual Music Unites the World Festival. ETM-LA has been fortunate to receive the support of many local artists and groups who host concerts and events to raise awareness for ETM-LA and its mission. Such events have included:

• March 2013: Norwood Day of Service with USC Alumni Association • April 2013: Music Unites the World, with Joe Kraemer (Composer, Jack Reacher starring ), Misha Shtangrud (Choral Director, Colburn School of Music), and Joselyn Wilkinson (percussionist) • May 2013: Ray Ushikubo performs for annual Keep the Music Playing concert • May 2013: Spring UCLA “Music That Matters” concert with Professor Bobby Borg and local bands/artists.

These partnerships with community members expand the reach and depth of ETM-LA’s mission so more children’s lives can be positively impacted by music. Photo Caption: Award-winning composer Joe ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS & PLANS FOR THE FUTURE Kraemer conducts the orchestra at the

ETM-LA welcomed new board member, Blake Neely and increased its music teacher staff to serve more partner schools. In addition, ETM-LA added three new partner schools: Cleveland Elementary School (Pasadena), Dorris Place Elementary (Elysian Park), and Our Lady of the Holy Rosary (Sun Valley). This broadened our reach from two to four school districts, as we now have partnerships with schools in Los Angeles, Future plans include reaching more students and strengthening ETM-LA’s visibility and marketing to be able to continue bringing music instruction to underserved Los Angeles children and communities.
