MISSION STATEMENT

Project M.U.S.I.C.™ In Schools

Project M.U.S.I.C.™ is an ongoing musical discovery for the support of music education in our schools and the communities we serve in Southern California.

100.3 FM The Sound is all about the music… and all about Southern California. Project M.U.S.I.C.™ is The Sound's way of giving back, helping to develop the next generation of musicians in our area.

Project M.U.S.I.C.™ supports underfunded music education to students K- 12 throughout the greater Los Angeles region and Orange County schools. 100.3 The Sound encourages donations of time and money from our many supporters - both our listeners and corporate partners.

Music has the power to heal, to grow, to enrich our communities. A well- rounded youth education should include the arts, regardless of budget considerations. Music appreciation and preservation should be inspired in our children.

Programs

 
The GRAMMY Museum education department is dedicated to helping students use music as a gateway to learning and as a way to inspire and cultivate creativity and critical thinking. The Museum provides students the opportunity to explore traditional school subjects through music by offering daily school tours, workshops and performances as well as a full range of family programs. The Museum also offers after school classes focused on building a career in the music industry. The classes are taught on a volunteer basis by industry professionals who provide students with skills that will transfer into a career in music. Qualified students are able to take these classes free of charge and receive high school credit upon completion.
 
The Orange County Department of Education Arts/Advantage program is an exciting initiative designed to assist public school districts in creating, implementing, and improving arts education programming for K-12 students. The program consists of five strategic plans of action: Materials and Resources, Curriculum and Assessment, Professional Development of Teachers and Arts Professionals, Program Evaluation and Research, Leadership and Community Development. This is a model program designed to help music fit within austere school budgets.
