| Desc | SOL-LA provides instrumental music instruction at no cost to students at Saint Anne School, a Title 1 school in Santa Monica where 50% to 70 % of families meet the Federal Food Programs poverty criteria. In 2010, the program began with volunteer teachers and 15 beginning fourth grade violin and cello students. Each year, the program expands to include the next grade level, and today SOL-LA faculty teach students from 3rd to 7th grade, reaching over 150 students. The essential aspects of the instrumental program are weekly lessons with a SOL-LA master teacher in violin, cello, guitar and chorus, and daily peer-to-peer mentorship/practice buddies for string students from Elizabeth Mandell Music Institute (EMMI) at Crossroads School with the support of Crossroads School and Crossroads Community Outreach Foundation (CCOF). In addition college students from 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. Next year, SOL-LAs Instrumental Music Program at Saint Anne School will include an assessment of the programs influence on behavioral, social and academic indicators through a study conducted by UCLA HASOM, Saint Anne School and SOL-LA Music Academy. For this project, Saint Anne School was honored as one of the three finalists for last years Bravo Awards.All Saint Anne instrumental music students receive scholarships to attend ensemble, theory and chorus classes on the SOL-LA campus throughout the academic year. | Desc |

| Desc | SOL-LA Student and Adult Education:Throughout the school year, SOL-LA conducts master classes, workshops, coaching, and group classes for public and private Elementary, Middle and High School students by highly accomplished teachers and performers. A unique aspect of the SOL-LA program is its Parent and Faculty Education program, a series of informal lectures within the community that inform the public about the benefits of music education as a critical component of general education. College and High School Mentor Program:SOL-LAs program for UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music and university music students provides teaching experience and job opportunities, working with highly accomplished leading educators in the field of music and the performing arts. Advanced-level high school students are given the opportunity to work with SOL-LA faculty, while mentoring younger students through after-school instrumental practice sessions. The role of the mentor is to serve as a practice supervisor, coach, friend and role model and introduces mentors to the art of teaching.SOL-LA launched a community arts outreach program reaching approximately 1,000 pre-school, kindergarten and 1st grade students in 40 local public and private schools, where students participate in community service by creating art and music projects associated with the narrations, which are exhibited at the corresponding events. Young students are presented with certificates of community service to the arts and are invited to participate in free SOL-LA group classes on campus.With the extensive art program at local public and private schools, the involvement of SOL-LA and Saint Anne School students, UCLA and school partners, and theatre goers, the series has reached approximately 2,000 people. | Desc |

| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: SOL-LA Student and Adult Education:Throughout the school year, SOL-LA conducts master classes, workshops, coaching, and group classes for public and private Elementary, Middle and High School students by highly accomplished teachers and performers. A unique aspect of the SOL-LA program is its Parent and Faculty Education program, a series of informal lectures within the community that inform the public about the benefits of music education as a critical component of general education. College and High School Mentor Program:SOL-LAs program for UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music and university music students provides teaching experience and job opportunities, working with highly accomplished leading educators in the field of music and the performing arts. Advanced-level high school students are given the opportunity to work with SOL-LA faculty, while mentoring younger students through after-school instrumental practice sessions. The role of the mentor is to serve as a practice supervisor, coach, friend and role model and introduces mentors to the art of teaching.SOL-LA launched a community arts outreach program reaching approximately 1,000 pre-school, kindergarten and 1st grade students in 40 local public and private schools, where students participate in community service by creating art and music projects associated with the narrations, which are exhibited at the corresponding events. Young students are presented with certificates of community service to the arts and are invited to participate in free SOL-LA group classes on campus.With the extensive art program at local public and private schools, the involvement of SOL-LA and Saint Anne School students, UCLA and school partners, and theatre goers, the series has reached approximately 2,000 people. |

| 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 health, 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, is flourishing. SOL-LA provides music instruction at no cost to students at Saint Anne School, where more than 50% 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 and cello 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, theory and chorus classes on the SOL-LA campus at no cost. 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. |
