Project Title: Free music lessons for underserved kids
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Empowering economically underserved children by breaking down the barriers
\nof financial challenges, ensuring every child has access to the transformative benefits of
\nearly-age music education.
\nTo foster a robust organization capable of replication in other
\nunderserved communities within Galveston County school districts.
\nFrom its inception, the goal of the Dickinson Music Enrichment Center has been to offer
\na completely free after-school music program for underserved students in grades 4-6
\n(ages 9-12). Additionally, we provide free instruments for students who continue the
\nprogram and enroll in band in the 6 th grade, which is the earliest you participate in the
\nband program in grade school. The free lessons will continue through middle school and
\nhigh school for those students that may need additional instruction to improve their
\ntechnique and sound quality.
\nEstablished in 2021, the founders spent 12 months posturing and preparing to launch
\ntheir vision. Through the help of a grant in 2022 from the Dickinson Management
\nDistrict, the use of space at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Dickinson, and the support
\nof many individual and corporate sponsors, in the fall of 2023, the program launched
\nwith a total of 15 students. The students are mentored and coached by 11 th and 12 th
\ngrade students at Dickinson Sr. High School, who serve as section leaders with the
\nDickinson ISD band program. The coaches are paid positions. We find this type of
\nstructure for our students provides good mentorship experience and helps our older
\nstudents who are hoping to increase their opportunities of band scholarships at the
\nuniversity level. In the current 2023-24 school year, the program has 9 student
\ncoaches\/mentors.
\nThe goal of The Dickinson Music Enrichment Foundation is to provide an opportunity for
\nall children, even those facing economic challenges, to access and participate in a
\nmusic curriculum.<\/p>\n
