| IRS990/Desc | 0 | THE VH1 SAVE THE MUSIC FOUNDATION IS A 501(C)(3) NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO CREATING SYSTEMATIC CHANGE IN THE AMERICAN PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM BY RESTORING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PROGRAMS AND BY RAISING PUBLIC AWARENESS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF MUSIC EDUCATION. THE FOUNDATION WAS CREATED TO ADDRESS THE INEQUITY IN AVAILABILITY OF MUSIC EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS IN MANY OF THE UNITED STATES' MOST CHALLENGED COMMUNITIES. SINCE ITS CREATION, THE VH1 SAVE THE MUSIC FOUNDATION, WORKING WITH LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS, HAS RESTORED MUSIC EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN OVER 2,000 PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN MORE THAN 247 SCHOOL DISTRICTS AROUND THE COUNTRY, IMPROVING THE LIVES OF MORE THAN 3 MILLION CHILDREN ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. DURING THAT TIME, THE FOUNDATION HAS PROVIDED $53 MILLION WORTH OF NEW INSTRUMENTS TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE VH1 SAVE THE MUSIC FOUNDATION HAS DEVELOPED A UNIQUE MODEL TO FOSTER EQUITABLE ACCESS TO COMPREHENSIVE MUSIC EDUCATION FOR ALL CHILDREN. THE FOUNDATION DEVELOPS STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS WITH SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO RESTORE MUSIC EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN EACH PUBLIC SCHOOL WITHIN THE DITRICT. TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT MUSIC PROGRAMS REMAIN A CORE PART OF THE CURRICULUM IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, AND THE PROGRAMS LIVE ON IN PERPETUITY, THE FOUNDATION WORKS WITH SCHOOLS THAT HAVE AGREED TO IMPLEMENT A SEQUENTIAL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PROGRAM BASED ON LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR MUSIC EDUCATION.PROGRAM AND POLICY STAFF MEMBERS FROM VH1 SAVE THE MUSIC FOUNDATION WORK CLOSELY WITH SUPERINTENDENTS, SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS, PRINCIPALS, ART COORDINATORS, AND MUSIC EDUCATORS IN EACH SCHOOL DISTRICT TO IDENTIFY SCHOOLS THAT ARE ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE. THE FOUNDATION WORKS WITH LOCAL POLICY-MAKERS AND ADVOCATES TO HELP ENSURE THAT SCHOOLS THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FOUNDATION'S RESTORATION OF MUSIC EDUCATION PROGRAMS TAKE THE STEPS NEEDED TO BECOME ELIGIBLE. THE FOUNDATION WORKS TO ENABLE EVERY SCHOOL WITHIN THE DISTRICT TO HAVE ACCESS TO MUSIC EDUCATION. THE FOUNDATION PROVIDES A GRANT OF INSTRUMENTS, VALUED AT APPROXIMATELY $35,000 FOR EACH SCHOOL TO JUMP START THE NEW MUSIC PROGRAM. A SCHOOL MUST CONDUCT THE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PROGRAM AS PART OF THEIR REGULAR SCHOOL DAY, AND PROVIDE THE SALARY FOR A CERTIFIED MUSIC EDUCATOR FOR INSTRUCTION. BY GUARANTEEING THAT EACH GRANT RECIPIENT SCHOOL HIRES A CERTIFIED MUSIC INTRUCTOR, THE FOUNDATION FOSTERS A SUSTAINABLE MUSIC PROGRAM.THE GRANT OF INSTRUMENTS PROVIDES THE IMPETUS FOR MUSIC PROGRAMS TO BE RESTORED, BUT THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH SCHOOL DISTRICTS NATION-WIDE.GRANT RECIPIENTS PRINCIPALS ARE PROVIDED WITH HANDS-ON GUIDANCE IN BUILDING AN INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PROGRAM. THE FOUNDATION'S PROGRAM AND POLICY STAFF ASSIST PRINCIPALS IN DEVELOPING THEIR MUSIC PROGRAM THROUGH WORKSHOPS, PERSONAL MEETINGS AND THE VH1 SAVE THE MUSIC FOUNDATION'S "GUIDE TO BUILDING AN INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PROGRAM." MUSIC EDUACTORS FROM GRANT RECIPIENT SCHOOLS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS THAT FOCUS ON GROWING THEIR SKILLS AND BUILDING THEIR MUSIC PROGRAM. THERE HAVE BEEN CASES IN SOME OF VH1 SAVE THE MUSIC FOUNDATION GRANT RECIPIENT COMMUNITIES WHERE SCHOOL PROGRAMS THAT HAD BEEN JUMP-STARTED BY THE FOUNDATION WERE THREATENED TO BE ELIMINATED. IN EACH CASE A LETTER WAS SENT TO THE PRINCIPAL OF THE GRANTEE SCHOOL AND THE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AND SUPERINTENDENT FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT STATING CONCERN ABOUT THE PENDING ELIMINATION AND STATING THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT TO MAINTAINING THE PROGRAM MADE BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND MEETINGS WERE SET UP TO FOLLOW UP WITH SENIOR LEADERSHIP IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS. IN MOST ALL CASES THE PROGRAMS WERE NOT ELIMINATED. THE CONVERSATIONS THAT TAKE PLACE WHILE ADVOCATING IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES PROVE MOST EFFECTIVE WHEN DECISION MAKERS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, STAKEHOLDERS, AND FUNDERS ARE ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH THE IMPORTANCE OF MUSIC EDUCATION. FOR THIS REASON, VH1 SAVE THE MUSIC FOUNDATION EMPLOY |
