CHILDREN'S ACADEMY FOR PERFORMING ARTS (CAPA) MUSIC PROGRAMS
Music and Media Academy
We provide a music academy for children of all ages and
socio-economic backgrounds, giving students equal opportunity to learn
in a fun and cutting edge environment. The journey will begin on
existing campuses, partnering with preschools, after-school programs
and community centers. Our first courses will include the "Guitar Workshop" for elementary
age through early teens and "Music Club!" for preschoolers. In the Fall of 2010 (or sooner) we will launch our community "Youth Orchestra" while adding other instruments media courses.
Youth Orchestra
Our
community youth orchestra will launch in 2010. We will build a
database of students and journey with them as they grow in their
abilities. Students will play great "classics" as well as modern film themes from Harry Potter and Star Wars to name a few. Funding will be assisted by the "National Endowment for the Arts" and various foundations. We will provide an equal opportunity for all students to play in the orchestra within the communities we
serve. Hiring leading directors to care for and direct our youth will
be top priority. Affordable lease to own, rental and purchase option
instruments will be provided to the students with the assistance of the
foundation.
