DescSt. Anne School ProgramSOL-LA's satellite program at St. Anne School, the only nonpublic Title 1 School in Santa Monica, CA is flourishing. SOL-LA provides music instruction at no cost to students at St. Anne School, where more than 40% of the families meet the Federal Food Program poverty criteria. In 2010, SOL-LA formed a partnership with Crossroads School's Elizabeth Mandell Music Institute (EMMI) and the Crossroads Community Outreach Foundation (CCOF) to provide music education at St. Anne School. The St. Anne music program began with a fourth grade class of 18 beginning violin students and has grown rapidly to now serve 260 K-8 grade students. In addition, St. Anne School students are eligible to attend string ensemble, music theory, and chorus classes on the SOL-LA campus with substantial tuition assistance. The essential aspects of the instrumental program are weekly lessons with a SOL-LA master teacher in violin, cello, guitar and chorus, as well as bi-weekly practice sessions for string players with mentors from EMMI at Crossroads School with the support of Crossroads School and CCOF. In addition college students from the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music (HASOM) act as senior mentors. Instruments are provided to each student, the majority on loan from our community partner, American Youth Symphony, and many provided through donors. Other Satellite ProgramsIn addition to our program at Saint Anne School, SOL-LA has satellite programs at two other schools, Crossroads Elementary School and Saint Monica Catholic Elementary School in Santa Monica, CA. Both programs offer violin classes to students as part of the school's enrichment program. The Crossroads program offers two 60-minute classes each week to 45 students and the program at Saint Monica offers one 60-minute class each week to 30 students. Students in SOL-LA satellite and on-campus programs come together to perform several times over the course of the school year.Desc
