Project Title: Valley Producer Pop-ups\/Live Community Events
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Department Of Sound is a Sacramento-based 501(c)(3) providing opportunities to youth through music and podcasting education, focused on students aged 11-18 in under-serviced communities. Throughout our programming, we aim to teach students practical skills to nurture their creative expression and foster a sense of connection, self-worth, and belonging for individuals. Our innovative, production-focused approach encourages students to develop skills in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics), and supports increased graduation rates, and opens doors to fulfilling careers in music and entertainment. <\/p>\n
With full funding, we aim to hold 25 Valley Producer Pop-up community events in Northern California from June 2022 – June 2023, of which 3 would be funded by this grant. We seek $10,000 to engage 250-500 disadvantaged youth through our Valley Producer Pop-Up events and expect to generate at least 25-50 online sign-ups for our Valley Producer Program, a free, self-paced online curriculum accessible through any basic mobile device. <\/p>\n
We will collaborate with our partners Bigger Than Us Arts and MusicLandria to host music production petting zoos, which allow children of all ages to play a range of instruments, interact with music production software, and create their own music and podcast content. Pop-ups also include Beat Showcases, in which current students of our Valley Producer Fellowship share music and podcast projects as well as personal experiences. In 2022, we are launching a Pop-Up series featuring Native Music Artists showcasing traditional Indigenous music, instruments, culture, and contemporary expressions.<\/p>\n
The need for accessible music education is essential to improve and transform the lives of children. The benefits of music and sound include improved mental health and self-esteem, social skills, attendance, and academic performance, and potential economic opportunities, as well as a sense of belonging and purpose for students through shared experiences of creativity.\n<\/p>\n
