 Los
Angeles Music Week, Incorporated is a non-profit 501(c)3,
community based
outreach
program, now in its Sixteenth
year
of service. Each year during the first two weeks of December, Los
Angeles Music Week honors the various
contributions of local landmark
artists of all genres and works exhaustively to provide equitable
access to music education for at risk children and youth. LAMW
shares the
history
of
music
in Los Angeles with children
and participants, noting
the part this city plays in shaping music
internationally. There are several year-round dynamic events,
namely Opening Ceremony, City Council Day, Children's Day,
the Awards Luncheon and many relevant local events. L.A. Music Week is
an instrument of unity,
building bridges to the
diverse
citizenry while enhancing local tourism. All contents are Los

The Artistic Mission of Los Angeles Music Week Fulfilling the motto, "An Instrument of Unity, " Los Angeles Music Week serves all the residents of the Greater Los Angeles area, including its surrounding basins. The performances, projects and events impact people of diverse cultures, ages, ethnicities, religions and socioeconomic groups. The scope of events offers Angelenos opportunities to hear musical genres that they have never experienced and invites them to explore venues in various parts of the city. The educational activities of LAMW are enabled in elementary, middle and high schools by donatng instruments, music instruction, mentoring, field trips and/or school supplies. LAMW takes an active role in Los Angeles' cultural tourism industry by offering a wide variety of performances that showcase the city's musical heritage. Due to the drastic
cutbacks in music curricula in schools over the past decade, the
majority
of the city's children know little or nothing about the rich musical
heritage
of the city they live in and have no scope of the musical genres
available
to them, from classical to jazz to ethnic musics. Many children
have
very few musical skills or lack the resources for acquiring them.
LAMW's program elements, such as field trips, in-school presentations
and
opportunities to interface with living musical legends, broaden musical
understanding and have created musical bridges between the communities
over the past twelve years. The sponsors and
partnerships
listed on this page dutifully enable LAMW to accomplish the
educational
goals and facilitate field trips for the school children in order to
link
music with other aspects of culture and learning. The children
derive
so much pride and motivation from learning how many famous musicians
from
all aspects of the music business grew up in their own
communities.
Face-to-face dialogue with successful living legends gives them the
impetus
to explore their own God-given talents and capabilities, inspiring them
to learn. The Children's Day field trips open up a world of
amazing wonder and possibility. Will you place an Ad in our Souvenir

The Fifty Second Street School Music Department Fifty Second Street Elementary School, located in Local District 7, is a reservoir of musical opportunities, ripened by rigorous instruction, interactive assemblies and varied experiences that expose students to a diversity of standards-based knowledge. A large percentage of the student body is now taking instrumental music instruction either privately, or through the school’s music department. This has made a tremendous difference in developing metacognition as well as a higher level of critical thinking across the curriculum. 52nd. is graced by two highly talented music educators, Mr. Erichavelli, who teaches all instrumental music classes, and Mr. William Marshall, a 2006 Music Week honoree. Both gentlemen enable and enlighten students regarding music theory, music history as well as music appreciation. There are also periodic music assemblies which enrich student achievement through classical music, chamber music, cultural multi-genre music, musical quartets, as well as exposure to theatre arts and visual arts workshops, either on site or through participation in local venues. Therefore, Fifty Second Street Elementary School is growing a community of interactive, enthusiastic learners who are reaching their academic goals through the sponsorship of Los Angeles Music Week. Now, more students have equitable access to instrumental music instruction, as well as music classes and choral instruction. |
