Name of Applicant: Amount Requested: Category: Score: <br />Orange County $10,000 Organization 90.0 — 1St <br />Therapeutic Arts <br />Center <br />Description of Project: <br />OCCTAC is requesting a $10, 000 grant to continue to provide very talented at -risk <br />youth from Santa Ana, with limited musical access and financial resources, an Intensive <br />Summer Music Camp 5 days a week, 3 hours each day during one entire month. The <br />students will learn and/or expand their musical skills during this intensive Summer <br />Camp, and engage in community performances that will continue to build their self- <br />esteem, community pride while creating beautiful music together! <br />Our Summer Intensive Music Camp started last year, as an expansion of our Classical <br />Music program, where students learned to play a string instrument of their choice (violin <br />or viola) and/or a woodwinds instrument (flute, clarinet or saxophone). It was a great <br />success and we enrolled close to 100 students in the program! This year, we propose to <br />have the intensive camp again, and add one more string instrument (Cello) since we <br />have received Cello donations for our agency! All students will have the opportunity to <br />attend the camp 5 days per week, 3 hours each day for one entire month during the <br />Summer; and engage in 3 rotations, of 45 minutes - 1 hour long rotations. <br />The students will be divided into skill levels: 1) Beginner or intermediate Strings and/or <br />Woodwinds Class, 2) Music Theory/Rhythm Class, and Ensemble work (Performing <br />Class) with OCSA and Chamber Music group coaching, as well as individual Practice <br />pullout sessions, and with the help of OCSA students and college volunteers/interns <br />supporting our program. We plan to enroll 50 - 100 students again, and will be working <br />closely this year with the OC School of the Arts volunteers, as well as other college <br />volunteers. In addition, Chamber Music OC will once again provide music <br />appreciation/history workshops and perform for our students, as part of their Community <br />Outreach and Educational efforts! <br />Community Benefit: <br />This project will educate and enrich our Santa Ana students and their families about the <br />beauty and richness of Chamber and Orchestral Music. Also, it will enrich the Santa <br />Ana arts and culture community by bringing together professional musicians to perform <br />in Santa Ana with our student population, and provide our community with this <br />wonderful arts and cultural activity. <br />25D-13 <br />
