Los
Angeles Music Week
Artistic
Mission
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 ten 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. |
