The Breed Street Shul and Sound Art

Posted: February 14, 2012

We have a new program in Boyle Heights inspired by our work with Ellen Sanchez and Santana House.  We are running a songwriting class in the historic synagogue and shul that was built in 1915 when Boyle Heights was primarliy a Talmudic Jewish neighborhood.  The kids have written two songs and HeyDay Media Group  is creating a compilation of their artists and the Sound Art kids. We'll keep you posted on the progress.

Nils Mol de Van Otterloo - A New Team Member

Posted: February 14, 2012

Welcome to Nils Mol de Van Otterloo, our new Program Director!  Nils came to us years ago as a teacher and was wonderful.  When his life changed and he needed to go meet other challenges, he left Sound Art.  Now he has returned to be a part of the team and help us build our programs. Nils has the background and expertise to help us deepen and improve our programs.  In addition to being a unique and wonderful musician, he's also a fine photographer and has brought us these skills as well.  It's wonderful to have him back with us!

Sparrow Guitar’s new ad campaign kicks plastic tuchus

Posted: October 22, 2010

At the beginning of our music programs we ask our students if they have any experience playing instruments. One of our kids raises his hands and says he knows how to play guitar. So we put one in his hands. He's confused and can't figure out how it works. Why? He didn't realize that a real guitar was different from a controller for Guitar Hero.
 
So, shout outs to Sparrow Guitars. We're right there with you on the front lines.

Imagine Starting High School as a Popular Kid!

Posted: July 19, 2010

 

Our Middle School kids are moving on! And this last year at Fairfax High School and Hollywood High School our kids from LeConte, Bancroft and Irving Middle Schools entered high school as the best musicians in the school.  They were able to play in any music situation that the schools had to offer, which of course, included Sound Art classes after school!  They played lunchtime concerts regularly and did any special events that the schools put on.  They came into their high school years as stars!  All the kids that studied with us in middle school could play more than one instrument and move around the band with ease.  Imagine entering your high school years already a hero! Talk about a reason to stay in school!
