Description of Work - in space below, describe the program to be funded during the 12-month contract period including, services to be provided, program goals, client characteristics, & how grant funds will be utilized. The Centro presently provides Santa Ana unique music programs. 7'he requested funds will assure that these programs continue. The music program presently consists of three separate music classes based on Son Jarocho, traditional dance music from Veracruz. it employs guitar-like instruments called "jaranas" (small eight-string guitar) and percussive instruments such as "el cajon", which is a wooden box played like a drum, a "marimbol" (mix between el cajon and a finger piano), "requintos° small five string guitars, and dancers who provide percussion with thew footwork. The students not only receive instruction, but also perform under a group called "Son del Centro". This year we plan [o re-activate our wind instrument program, teaching students how to play instruments such as the saxophone, clarinet, trumpet, baritone and trombone. The students are taught how to read music and experience what i[ is to perform. The primary goal of these programs is to continue to serve the needs oflow-income, at-risk families, especially adolescents who have limited access to music and artistic programs. It is well known that teenagers without extra-curricular activities are at a higher risk of becoming involved in undesirable behavior (gangs, drugs, etc.), particularly in the afternoon hours after school. Goal: To provide after school music education to Santa Ana disadvantaged youth and families. Objective: To enroll as many students as possible (no less than 30) who will learn how [o read music and play an instrument and will also be giving back to the community by performing in musical groups. Insnuction will fuse music and dance into a learning format [hat explores interactive artistic mediums as a tool for self-empowerment and social change. The grant funds will be utilized for rent, music instructors, music instruments, and an assistant to the executive director who is coordinating the program. ~X A
