Community Services Report 2009-2010

E

ach year, the GRAMMY Foundation® gathers the stories of the past 12 months in our Community Services Report. For this report, we are combining the activities into a two-year report covering 2009 and 2010. What you’ll discover in these stories are highlights that mark some of our accomplishments and recount the inspiring moments that affirm our mission and invigorate our programs throughout the years. Since 2007, we’ve chosen to tell our stories of the past fiscal year’s achievements in an online version of our report — to both conserve resources and to enliven the account with interactive features. We hope you enjoy what you learn about the GRAMMY Foundation and welcome your feedback.

MISSION The GRAMMY Foundation was established by The Recording Academy® to cultivate the understanding, appreciation, and advancement of the contribution of recorded music to American culture — from the artistic and technical legends of the past to the still unimagined musical breakthroughs of future generations of music professionals.

O U R E D U C AT I O N P R O G R A M S Under the banner of GRAMMY in the Schools®, the GRAMMY Foundation produces and supports music education programs for high school students across the country throughout the year. The GRAMMY Foundation’s GRAMMY in the Schools website provides applications and information for GRAMMY in the Schools programs, in addition to student content.

G R A M M Y ® C A R E E R D AY GRAMMY Career Day is held on university campuses and other learning environments across the country. It provides students with insight into careers in music through daylong conferences offering workshops with artists and industry professionals. 2009 and 2010 represent the 21st and 22nd seasons of GRAMMY Career Day. The continuing support of the Ford Motor Company Fund allowed us to offer the GRAMMY Career Day experience in six additional cities over the two-year period. Since 1988, more than 208,540 students have benefitted from GRAMMY Career Day.

2 0 1 0 G R A M M Y ® S I G N AT U R E S C H O O L S Just as the GRAMMY Award recognizes excellence in recording, the GRAMMY Signature Schools program, presented by the Gibson Foundation with support from the Ford Motor Company Fund, honors top public high school music programs with cash grants. Understanding that many schools struggle to maintain a quality program — particularly in rural and urban areas — the Foundation established the GRAMMY Signature Schools Enterprise Award for needs-based applicants in under-served communities. Since the program’s inception, 662 public high schools were selected as GRAMMY Signature Schools and awarded $852,000 in grants. GRAMMY Signature Schools is approved by the National Association of Secondary School Principals and MENC: The National Association for Music Education. In 2010, 12 public high schools representing 11 cities and 9 states were selected as GRAMMY Signature Schools. In 2009, we doubled the number of Enterprise Award winners to six and gave them grants of $5,000 each. In an effort to expand the program’s effectiveness and increase the overall quality of applications, the GRAMMY Foundation, with help of the Ford Motor Company Fund, developed and launched a grant writing workshop in three markets. In 2009, 14 public high schools representing 13 cities and 10 states were selected as GRAMMY Signature Schools.

GRAMMY JAZZ ENSEMBLES The GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles program selects top high school instrumentalists and singers and brings them to the host city of the GRAMMY Awards for a once-in-a-lifetime experience where they rehearse, perform, and record together — often with GRAMMY Award-winning guest artists — at a series of high profile GRAMMY Week events. In 2010, highlights included an appearance on the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards telecast with Dave Matthews. The program, in its 18th year, selected 28 high school singers and instrumentalists representing 26 cities and 12 states. In addition, nearly $2 million in scholarships is offered to many ensemble members by Berklee College of Music, Manhattan School of Music, New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, and USC Thornton School of Music.

“Thanks so much for everything during GRAMMY week. It was one of the best musical experiences I’ve ever had. Not to mention it had an overwhelmingly positive effect on my college choices. I will be attending Manhattan School of Music next year with a full tuition scholarship for the four years I attend.” — 2009 GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles Participant

The 2009 program, in its 17th year, selected 30 high school singers and instrumentalists representing 23 cities and 13 states. In addition, nearly $2 million in scholarships is offered to many Ensembles members by Berklee College of Music, Manhattan School of Music, New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, and USC Thornton School of Music. We partnered with the Beyond the Bell branch of the Los Angeles Unified School District to pilot a vocal audition workshop. Singers in Los Angeles and Compton, Calif. signed up to attend the workshop, where they received basic instruction in healthy vocal technique, learned about the connection of jazz to other popular genres, and were coached on general audition techniques. Lastly, they were taught the two songs that are required for the GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles audition. After practicing for a week, 22 of the youngsters came back the following Saturday, and we video recorded their audition for the GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles.

“What came off that plane from L.A. returning to us was a more focused and mature young musician, clearer about what he wants to do and how he wants to go about it.  He now knows what the pursuit of excellence means — and that he wants to continue to work hard so that he can be part of it. What you gave these kids, more than anything, was pure inspiration.”   — 2009 GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles Parent

GRAMMY CAMP® GRAMMY Camp is an interactive residential summer program for students that focuses on all aspects of the commercial music industry. The curriculum is led by core faculty, guest artists, and music professionals, across a range of career tracks. GRAMMY Camp covers all aspects of creating, performing, and recording, and it culminates in media projects, CD recordings, and/or showcase performances. In the summer of 2010, Converse came onboard and allowed GRAMMY Campers to participate in their “Connectivity Campaign.” An additional element that was incorporated into the curriculum included the Social Networking and New Media Activity, during which guest professionals worked with teams of campers to create and identify strategies to promote camper-created viral videos. GRAMMY in the Schools program alumni were enlisted to help with new media and social networking for these outreach efforts. The program is hosted by the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music and supported in part by ASCAP, Best Buy, BET, CocaCola, CenterStaging, Converse, the Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation, Epiphone, the Ford Motor Company Fund, Guitar Center Hollywood, the Hot Topic Foundation, JBL by Harman, the Les Paul Foundation, Line 6, Mackie, Remo, Shure, and USC Thornton School of Music.

The fact that you cared about his success, and took the time to ensure he had a phenomenal experience means so much to us.” — 2009 GRAMMY Camp Parent

The Grant Program, with funding generously provided by The Recording Academy, awards grants annually to organizations and individuals in two categories: scientific research studies that advance our knowledge of the impact of music on the human condition, and archive projects that implement or plan the preservation of the music and recorded sound heritage of the Americas for future generations. The Grant Program is seeing more and better qualified applicants each year, and this results in our funding outstanding, meaningful, and diverse projects. In 2010 — the grant program’s 23rd year — grants were awarded to nine recipients in the United States, Canada and the Dominican Republic. Funds supported a range of research, archiving, and preservation projects on subjects including: investigating links between pre-school children’s rhythm ability and their pre-reading skills; completing the preservation and digitization of the world’s most complete collection of commercially recorded Mexican-American vernacular music; and creating a preservation plan for the collection of recordings of Roy Harris, a renowned 20th century American classical music composer. Fiscal year 2009 saw a 75 percent decrease in available funds; however, 11 exceptional projects were funded.

2010 GRANT RECIPIENTS

Preservation Implementation

Center for Black Music Research, Columbia College — Chicago | Awarded: $15,000 This project will digitize, archive, preserve, and make available to the public 142 audio cassettes (194 hours) containing in-depth interviews with 100 important Jamaican studio musicians, arrangers, and vocalists. The interviews feature the musicians who created the genres of ska, rocksteady, and reggae during the 60s and 70s, and reveal in great detail how these new forms actually emerged, and what their creators thought about the creative process.

Arhoolie Foundation — El Cerrito, Calif. | Awarded: $10,000 The Frontera Collection is the world’s most complete gathering of commercially recorded Mexican American vernacular music. Recognizing the historical value of this one-of-a-kind collection, the Arhoolie Foundation, in partnership with the UCLA Digital Library, has successfully preserved, digitized, and created public access to over 50,000 individual performances captured on 78 rpm and 45 rpm records. Twelve thousand 45s are still in urgent need of preservation.

Reel to reel tape from the Bob Moog collection before preservation.

New England Folk Music Archives — Cambridge, Mass. | Awarded: $15,000 The Archive’s goal is long-term preservation, cataloguing, storing, and dissemination of Club 47’s most fragile reel-to-reels of live performances and field recordings (1958–1963) and related oral histories on audiocassettes (1990–2007). This unique collection contextualizes the New England music scene and its influence on the mid-20th century folk revival.

Preservation Planning California State University, Los Angeles Foundation — Los Angeles | Awarded: $5,000 This project will create a preservation plan for recordings in the Roy Harris Collection housed in the John F. Kennedy Memorial Library at California State University, Los Angeles. Roy Harris is one of the 20th century’s two or three most prominent American classical music composers.

“The preservation grant from the GRAMMY Foundation has allowed us to preserve seminal works in the field of analog synthesis, including an 84-minute tape of Bob Moog at age 29 introducing the prototype of the Moog synthesizer, parameter by parameter, to a receptive musician.” —The Bob Moog Foundation

Centro Cultural Eduardo León Jimenes — Santiago, Dominican Republic | Awarded: $5,000 This collection holds all recordings folklorist Fradique Lizardo (1930-1997) made during four decades of fieldwork. The breadth of his work is unmatched; the collection is likely the largest of its type held in the Dominican Republic. The project’s aim is to determine the collection’s conservation status, contents, and copyright status.

Lower East Side Tenement Museum — New York | Awarded: $5,000 The Lower East Side Tenement Museum seeks to analyze the audio holdings in its archive to determine their content and current state of preservation, and create a sustainable plan for the long-term maintenance and playback of the collection. The Museum will fully catalogue its audio materials by collecting information about each recording, and work with an audio preservation consultant to ensure its audio holdings are properly converted and stored. University of the Pacific — Stockton, Calif. | Awarded: $5,000 The project will conduct a preservation assessment and develop a preservation plan to guide the conservation and digitization of endangered audio and video tapes of legendary jazz musician Dave Brubeck, as part of the Dave Brubeck Collection.

Research McGill University — Montreal, Quebec | Awarded: $20,000 This project will use music and brain imaging tools to study auditory perception and brain differences in young adults ages 18 – 30 with autism. As a non-verbal tool, music is a unique means to study autistic individuals, who often have language impairments. This research may lead to the development of novel auditory-musical-based intervention programs to improve social functioning in people with autism. Tufts Center for Reading & Language Research — Medford, Mass. | Awarded: $20,000 The study will investigate links between pre-school children’s rhythm ability and their pre-reading skills, with a goal of determining the relationships between rhythm skills and predictors of later reading achievement. The study’s long-term goals are to use pre-school rhythm ability measures to predict future reading disability and to use music training to bolster reading acquisition and as an early intervention for reading disability.

GRAMMY LIVING HISTORIES

Each year during GRAMMY Week, the GRAMMY Foundation produces an event designed to heighten public awareness of our work. In 2010, Cue The Music explored the invaluable contributions of music to television and its influence on the American cultural landscape. Presented in partnership with the Paley Center for Media, the evening featured footage of historical significance including clips from music in variety shows, television themes, and sitcoms while also taking a look at how television has become a 21st century medium for breaking new artists.

John Fry

The program included live performances from the late GRAMMY-winning legend Solomon Burke, GRAMMY-winning artist Colbie Caillat, Melanie Fiona, the Fray, Latin GRAMMY winner Jorge Moreno, GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter Jason Mraz, and GRAMMYwinning songwriter Pat Monahan.

The evening was hosted by music journalist Kurt Loder and included live performances from GRAMMY winning artists Daniel Lanois and Lucinda Williams, as well as guitarists Tyler Bryant and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and GRAMMY nominee Sara Bareilles.

The GRAMMY Foundation was also instrumental in writing and successfully passing the National Recording Preservation Act. This legislation created a National Recording Preservation Board that works with the Librarian of Congress and the public to select entries for the National Recording Registry, ensuring the preservation of these designated historic recordings. Since passage of the act in 2000 and its reauthorization in 2008, 300 recordings have been added to the registry. g r a mmyfoun dation .o rg

“It was one of the most beneficial things I did during law school. The ELI program is extremely well-run and the events, networking, and hospitality were second to none. Being published in a major legal journal has also paid incredible dividends. This is not just a writing contest...ELI is a career changer in every sense.”

The Entertainment Law Initiative is comprised of three components: a legal seminar series, a national scholarship essay competition for law students and a high-profile luncheon during GRAMMY Week that is attended by students, music attorneys, executives, and members of The Recording Academy. Since its inception in 1999, the Entertainment Law Initiative has granted $132,000 in scholarships to aspiring law students. The Entertainment Law Initiative’s Annual Scholarship Luncheon continued over the course of 2009 and 2010.  Attendance increased to more than 400 and revenue topped the $200,000 mark.  ELI also increased its writing competition workshops at law schools around the country.  The workshops are designed to demystify the process of entering the competition, increase submissions and awareness, and provide interaction with top entertainment attorneys.  In total, more than 30 workshops were presented over the past two years.

During GRAMMY Week 2010, the GRAMMY Foundation launched a new fundraising event — GRAMMY In The Schools Live! – A Celebration of Music & Education sponsored by the Ford Motor Company Fund with support from 94.7 the WAVE. This special evening, which was open to the public, showcased the GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles, along with student alumni from GRAMMY Camp and GRAMMY Signature Schools, with special guest artists Mindi Abair, Brian Culbertson, and Boney James. On July 23, 2010, Keith Urban, three-time GRAMMY winner and one of country music’s most successful and influential artists, headlined the GRAMMY Foundation’s signature benefit Starry Night concert at the Los Angeles Tennis Center at the University of California, Los Angeles. Urban was also GRAMMY Camp’s honorary dean and he offered an impassioned message during the sold-out, two-hour concert.

As part of the event, six GRAMMY Camp participants were called up to the stage to perform Urban’s No. 1 hit “Days Go By.” The crowd reacted with thunderous applause. Rising folk/rock stars the Avett Brothers opened the benefit. Starry Night was sponsored in part by Coca-Cola and TastingRoom.com. This event was presented in association with the Farmers Classic tennis tournament presented by Mercedes-Benz, and was held three nights prior to the tournament’s opening. Starry Night benefitted the GRAMMY Foundation’s GRAMMY in the Schools music education programs and the Southern California Tennis Association’s foundation. Following a successful fundraising program launched for MusiCares in 2009, the GRAMMY Foundation initiated a series of House Concerts in 2010. These intimate evenings, which were hosted by Board members, offered superb hors d’oeuvres and beverages and featured acclaimed performances by Josh Groban, Corinne Bailey Rae and LeAnn Rimes to benefit the GRAMMY Foundation. The GRAMMY Foundation’s GRAMMY in the Schools initiatives would not be possible without the remarkable support received from a number of corporate partners: Campbell’s Labels for Education In 2009, The GRAMMY Foundation was named the first philanthropic partner of the newly refreshed Labels for Education (LFE) program. The GRAMMY Foundation secured a number of high profile “Artist Ambassadors” to join the LFE effort.  These Ambassadors made appearances at selected schools to emphasize the importance of music education.  In addition the GRAMMY Foundation created an exclusive curriculum entitled “Discovery Through Music.”  The curriculum focuses on using music as a tool for learning across many different disciplines.  It is offered free to any school that signs up for LFE. The GRAMMY Foundation continued its partnership with LFE in 2010. In-store promotions featuring the GRAMMY Foundation were run in regional supermarket chains. 

20

By the end of fiscal year 2010 the Discovery Through Music curriculum had been downloaded by over 12,000 schools nationwide. Best Buy At the National GRAMMY Career Day in 2010, Best Buy pledged to partner with the GRAMMY Foundation to raise $1 million in funding to support music education programs in schools around the country.  Funding will be raised from a variety of cause marketing activities over the course of the year. Sound Matters Sound Matters is a cause marketing partnership between the GRAMMY Foundation, the Starkey Hearing Foundation and Best Buy.  Launched in 2008 the campaign continued through both 2009 and 2010 focusing on the sale of in-ear headphones at over 900 Best Buy stores around the country.  The campaign also reinforces the importance of hearing conservation among young music fans.  g r a mmyfoun dation .o rg

Converse Converse came aboard as a first time GRAMMY Camp sponsor in 2010.  In addition to financial support, Converse incorporated GRAMMY Camp students in their Connectivity Campaign. Gibson Foundation The Gibson Foundation continued its funding support for GRAMMY Signature Schools and GRAMMY Career Day nationally.
