| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: SOL-LA & UCLASince its inception, SOL-LA has fostered a close connection with the Herb Alpert School of Music at UCLA. UCLA professors have been members of our initial steering committee and our board of directors, involved with our performances, and have consistently provided us with vital guidance. UCLA graduates make up the core of the SOL-LA faculty and bring the standards of excellence from their education to our students. SOL-LA students have now gone on to attend UCLA, bringing full-circle the relationship between the two schools. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Chamber Music ProgramSOL-LA has expanded offerings for chamber music, allowing students to work together in various combinations, explore interesting repertoire and enjoy the social aspects of making music with peers. Chamber music is a niche that SOL-LA can fill as it's less well covered in the Santa Monica schools and in other programs that may offer orchestra opportunities. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: SOL-LA Music Academy provides the following events over the academic year:-10 recitals celebrating solo and ensemble performances.-7 Up-Beat Musicale informal recitals in which students perform works-in-progress and learn performance etiquette in a relaxed and supportive setting.-3-4 master classes with visiting artists engaging students in unique and specialized learning experiences. -Annual Bach Festival, celebrating the music of Bach, and the art, culture and history of the Baroque period.-2-3 Community concerts and festivals showcasing SOL-LA students and faculty.-Special workshops to support student, faculty, and parent education. |

| Supplemental information | Since the 1980's, public school cutbacks in the arts have left our youth bereft of an essential part of education. Founded in 2007 as a non-profit 501(c)(3) performing arts community school, SOL-LA's programs are designed to fill the gap in our youth's music education by providing comprehensive music and performing arts education from early childhood through high school and, through music, transform the lives of children and the communities around them. SOL-LA Music Academy was built upon five basic commitments: (1) To provide innovative arts education to children from all backgrounds and income levels. (2) To enable students of all socio-economic backgrounds to develop strong artistic and musical educational foundations. (3) To develop the artistic abilities and technical skill of students through instrumental studies and the language of music and the performing arts. (4) To create bridges across diverse cultures and communities thorough music education and to make music relevant and exciting to today's youth. (5) To foster a creative community for students by providing artistic mentors and an environment for students to bond through healthy, joyful and creative pursuits. SOL-LA students study instrumental music, a range of ensemble classes, music theory and choral classes on campus and at satellite locations. The research-based program begins with foundational instruction and proceeds through an interactive program of individual and group instruction in instrumental music, music composition and theory, and performance to provide for optimal growth. The success of our program rests on the diversity of our student/parent community, the strength of our core curriculum, the high quality of our music faculty, and performance-based programs that foster a sense of community through weekly recitals, regular group class performances, monthly performance recitals and participation in master classes by world renowned guest artists. Since SOL-LA's inception, we have been committed to attracting, engaging and serving children for whom quality music education would not otherwise be available.SOL-LAs satellite music program at Saint Anne School, the only nonpublic Title I school in Santa Monica, CA, is flourishing. SOL-LA provides music instruction at no cost to students at Saint Anne School, where more than 40% of families meet the Federal Food Program poverty criteria. In 2010, SOL-LA formed a partnership with Crossroads Schools Elizabeth Mandell Music Institute (EMMI) and the Crossroads Community Outreach Foundation (CCOF) to provide music education at Saint Anne School. The Saint Anne music program began with a fourth grade class of 18 beginning violin students and has grown rapidly to now serve 230 K-8 students. In addition, starting in 2013-14, Saint Anne School students are eligible to attend string ensemble, music theory and chorus classes on the SOL-LA campus with substantial tuition assistance. Our outreach goes beyond partnerships. SOL-LA's teaching practices embody the belief that building a supportive community is integral to making a difference in the lives of children. In addition to offering events to the community throughout the year, SOL-LA has become a collaborative resource in the community to build strong networks and partnerships among education institutions, performing arts organizations, families and community organizations.During the 2014-2015 year, SOL-LA conducted a comprehensive assessment of the music program at the St. Anne School. Program evaluators collected data from students, parents, SOL-LA teachers and St. Anne teachers and administrators about their experience in and with the program. The data was analyzed and used to create a report that evaluates the impact of SOL-LA's program on the educational experience at St. Anne. While the feedback was resoundingly positive from all populations, it nevertheless helps SOL-LA understand the strengths and challenges of the program and how it can be improved moving forward. |
