Each year, the GRAMMY Foundation gathers the stories of the past fiscal year (Aug. 1 – July 31) in our Community Services Report. Here you’ll learn about the accomplishments, innovations, and partnerships of the past year, and meet some of the people who

have inspired our work. Since 2007, we’ve told our stories of the past year’s achievements in an online version of our report — to both conserve resources and to enliven the account with interactive features. We hope you enjoy what you learn about the GRAMMY Foundation, invite you to support our work, and welcome your feedback.

M i s s i o nThe GRAMMY Foundation was established by The Recording Academy to cultivate the understanding, appreciation, and advancement of the contribution of recorded music to American culture — from the artistic and technical legends of the past to the still unimagined musical breakthroughs of future generations of music professionals.

GRAMMY® in the SchoolsUnder the banner of graMMy in the schools, the GRAMMY Foundation produces and supports music education programs for high school students across the country through-out the year to help inspire the next generation of music and its makers. The Foundation offers half-day and daylong programs — graMMy camp – soundcheck and graMMy camp – basic training — designed to give high school students information and experi-ences centered on careers in the music industry. graMMy camp and graMMy camp– Jazz session are residential programs that bring young people together for interactive, instructive working sessions with artists and music industry professionals. In addition, our graMMy signature schools initiatives for high music programs. All aspects of this work are detailed below. The GRAMMY Foundation’s graMMy in the schools website provides applications and information for GRAMMY in the Schools programs, in addition to student content. In 2011, the website was redesigned and relaunched to make it a more exciting and interactive resource for teens, parents, teachers, and anyone interested in careers in music.

graMMy campgraMMy camp – soundcheck allows students to attend the pro-fessional sound checks of a broad range of emerging and established touring artists, along with technical and industry professionals, to give young people perspectives on mu-sic careers through conversations about the specifics of their jobs and the necessary tools and education required for success.

The curriculum is led by core faculty, guest artists, and music professionals, across a range of career tracks. GRAMMY Camp covers all aspects of creating, performing, and recording, and it culminates in media projects, recordings, and/or performances.

In the summer of 2011, the 8th annual GRAMMY Camp was held in Los Angeles at the University of Southern California, and for the first time ever GRAMMY Camp expanded to offer an additional session in New York at the Converse Rubber Tracks studio in Brooklyn. GRAMMY Camp LA culminated in a showcase concert at the historic El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles while GRAMMY Camp NY culminated in a launch party held at the Best Buy Theater in Times Square. The program selected 111 high school students from 93 cities and 34 states for this unique music industry experience.

The graMMy camp – Jazz session program selects top high school instrumentalists and singers and brings them to the host city of the GRAMMY Awards for a once-in-a-lifetime experience where they rehearse, perform, and record together — often with GRAMMY Award-winning guest artists — at a series of high profile GRAMMY Week events. The GRAMMY Foundation feels an imperative to support jazz as an indigenous American art form. Many former members of the Jazz Sessions have gone on have their own successful solo careers, and to perform with notable artists including Terence Blanchard, Chick Corea, Gavin DeGraw, India.Arie, Branford Marsalis, Wynton Marsalis, and Christian Scott, as well as noted organizations such as the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. The GRAMMY

Foundation covers all costs for this program, so that all selected students may participate.

In 2011, highlights included an appearance on the 53rd annual GRAMMY Awards telecast with Matthew Morrison, Neil Portnow and Esperanza Spalding, again sharing the stage with Spalding at Spaghettini Grill, and with Sara Bareilles at GRAMMY in the Schools Live! at the University of Southern California’s Grand Ballroom. The program, in its 19th year, selected 30 high school singers and instrumentalists representing 30 cities and 12 states. In addition, nearly $2 million in scholarships is offered to many ensemble members by Berklee College of Music, Manhattan School of Music, New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, and USC Thornton School of Music.

This program is supported in part by Capitol Studios & Mastering (EMI Music Group), the Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation, Guitar Center Hollywood, Shure, SmartMusic, Spaghettini Italian Grill and Lounge, and Zildjian.

Just as the GRAMMY Award recognizes excellence in recording, the graMMy signature schools program honors top public high school music programs with cash grants. Understanding that many schools struggle to maintain a quality program — particularly in rural and urban areas — the Foundation established the graMMy signature schools Enterprise award for needs-based applicants in under-served communities. Since the program’s inception, 698 public high schools were selected as GRAMMY Signature Schools and awarded $1,053,500 in grants. GRAMMY Signature Schools is approved by the National Association of Secondary School Principals and MENC: The National Association for Music Education. In 2011, 36 public high schools representing 34 cities and 19 states were selected as GRAMMY Signature Schools.

Beginning in August 2010, the GRAMMY Foundation launched a new extension of graMMy signature schools called the graMMy signature schools community award in partnership with Best Buy Mobile. To celebrate the opening of new Best Buy Mobile stores, the GRAMMY Foundation identified deserving public high school music programs to receive the Community Award and a financial grant of $2,000 made possible by Best Buy Mobile. During the past year, almost 100 schools received the GRAMMY Signature Schools Community Award. Total dollars granted were in excess of $200,000. In addition, Ice Cube and Kid Rock made special appearances at their respective high schools to join us in presentations. Both artists were so moved by their participation that they generously contributed their own funds to the schools as well. We extend our thanks and appreciation to Best Buy Mobile for their commitment to music education and support of the GRAMMY Foundation.

Teen Substance Abuse Awareness through Music ContestOur Healthy Essentials programs were augmented this year by the “Teen Substance Abuse Awareness through Music Contest” created to celebrate National Drug Facts Week. In partnership with the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the GRAMMY Foundation, the contest was open to teens ages 14–18. Entrants were asked to compose or create an original song and/or music video that explores, encourages, and celebrates a healthy lifestyle or accurately depicts a story about drug abuse. Composers of all three winning entries had the opportunity to attend a 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards “Backstage Experience,” a special backstage tour while artists rehearsed for the live GRAMMY Awards show on Feb. 13, 2011, in Los Angeles.

The GRAMMY Foundation’s preservation and advancement initiatives foster dia-logue about the compelling issues facing the music industry, support projects that increase the understanding of music and its role in society and raise public aware-ness of the urgent need to preserve our nation’s recorded sound legacy.

The grant Program, with funding generously provided by The Recording Acad-emy, awards grants to organizations and individuals in two categories: scientific research studies that advance our knowledge of the impact of music on the human condition, and archive projects that designed to preserve the music and recorded sound heritage of the Americas for future generations. The Grant Program is seeing more and better qualified applicants each year, and this results in our abilities to fund outstanding, meaningful, and diverse projects. In 2011 — the grant program’s 24th year — grants were awarded to 15 recipients in the United States, Canada and the Dominican Republic. Research projects include a study that will test reha-bilitation therapy that uses music to cue and facilitate arm movements in people recovering from stroke; and preservation and archiving initiatives include a project that will protect a long-lost collection of aluminum discs containing more than 100 hours of live jazz performances from the swing era and another that will identify and catalogue the most fragile reel-to-reel recordings of live performances and related oral histories in the collection of the oldest continuously running folk music coffee-house, Caffè Lena.

In 2011, the GRAMMY Foundation was pleased to add an additional $100,000 in funding to the Grant Program to bring the total amount funded to $200,000.

the ascaP Foundation | new yorkawarded: $15,000The goal of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers Archives is to catalog, digitize, preserve, store, and provide access to ASCAP’s historical recordings, documents, scores, manuscripts, photos, lyric sheets, and ephemera relevant to the history of ASCAP and its members as contributors to American culture. The Library of Congress will serve as the final repository of these archives so that the materials can be publically accessed. www.ascapfoundation.org

boston symphony orchestra | boston, Mass.awarded: $10,000This project will preserve the only existing program masters of Evenings at Symphony

broadcasts recorded between 1960 and 1970 and transfer the recordings from an obsolete format into a stable preservation format that will be made accessible to the public. These master video tapes are in extremely fragile condition and represent an irreplaceable record of a golden era in American musical culture.www.bso.org

center for cultural and Eco-tourism-uL Lafayette | Lafayette, La.awarded: $10,000Funds will be used to retain a highly qualified audio technician to assess and transfer the most fragile reel to reel tapes recorded as far back as 1955 and as recent as 1992 to a stable medium.

centro cultural Eduardo León Jimenes | santiago, dominican republicawarded: $19,828This project will preserve Fradique Lizardo’s unique folklore recordings and make them accessible to the public. Lizardo is one of the most important Dominican folklorists, and his recordings, made between 1963 and 1984, document traditional music and dance from all parts of the country and his work with the national folk dance troupes. Dominican field recordings from this time are rare, making the Lizardo collection particularly valuable.www.centroleon.org.do

national Jazz Museum in Harlem | new yorkawarded: $20,000The National Jazz Museum in Harlem recently acquired the William Savory Collection, a long-lost collection of aluminum discs containing more than 100 hours of live jazz performances from the swing era that haven’t been heard since their respective original broadcasts. This historic find will have a huge impact on jazz scholarship and programming. This project will begin the urgent work of cleaning, storing, digitally transferring, and salvaging as much of the material as possible. www.jmih.org

new york Public radio | new york awarded: $20,000 New York Public Radio seeks to preserve a unique sonic heritage comprised of music and culture programming spanning the 1950s–1980s. This archive offers a rare glimpse into the minds, music and conversations of some of the 20th century’s greatest cultural luminaries. GRAMMY Foundation funding will support the reformatting of a significant portion of this remarkable collection, preserving one of America’s richest broadcasting legacies. www.wnyc.org

ASCAP events, scores and ephemera from such music greats as Irving Berlin, James Van Heusen, Harry Tobias, Harold Arlen, Hal David and Sammy Fain, among other – became part of “The ASCAP Collection at the Library of Congress.”

national Museum of american History, smithsonian institution | Washington, d.c.awarded: $5,000 The National Museum of American History requests funding for a conservation assessment of 400 experimental sound recordings — all made by Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison and Emile Berliner during the invention of sound recording instruments and media. The conservation assessment will determine which recordings need conservation treatment, prioritize their treatment, assess their housing, and recommend new housings as needed. www.americanhistory.si.edu

Philadelphia Folksong society | Philadelphia awarded: $5,000 The project will plan preservation, documentation and presentation of significant audio, video and print materials from the Philadelphia Folk Festival (1962–2010). The history of this iconic traditional music event includes performances from artists such as Elizabeth Cotton, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Steve Goodman, Mississippi John Hurt, Odetta, Bonnie Raitt, Pete Seeger, and hundreds more. www.pfs.org

ucLa Film & television archive | Los angeles awarded: $5,000 UCLA Film & Television Archive holds approximately 17,000 discs in its radio collection. The objective of this project is to complete a preservation assessment and create an action plan for preservation. Preservation considerations will include repackaging the materials into proper archival housing, inventorying, creating a catalog record, and establishing a priority for digital transfer. www.cinema.ucla.edu

Research

beth israel deaconess Medical center | boston awarded: $20,000 This project will test the efficacy of a rehabilitation therapy that utilizes musical auditory feedback to cue and facilitate arm and hand movements in people with stroke. Brain imaging techniques will also be used to assess changes in brain activity and connections that may underlie behavioral improvements. Results may support a new therapeutic intervention in the treatment of stroke patients with impaired arm function.www.musicianbrain.com/publications.php#index

new york university | new york awarded: $20,000This project will use two complementary neuroimaging methods to assess 1) how the brain processes pitch changes, 2) how the brain uses pitch changes to control vocalization, and 3) the effects of auditory and vocal training on the brain. Characterizing the anatomical and physiological brain mechanisms is essential for understanding how pitch is processed in healthy and disordered communication and singing.http://psych.nyu.edu/clash/poeppellab/

northwestern university | Evanston, ill. awarded: $20,000 This study will improve the understanding of the role that musical training plays in sharpening how the nervous system functions within everyday listening environments. Specifically, the researchers will determine how childhood music training tunes brain mechanisms responsible for processing speech in noisy listening environments, such as encountered in a bustling classroom. www.brainvolts.northwestern.edu

Queen’s university | kingston, ontario awarded: $20,000 Scientific research has convincingly showed that musical memory is spared both in normal and pathological aging, specifically in Alzheimer’s dementia. New exciting directions involve the notion that music elicits memories of the past. This project will examine the role of familiarity and emotion in supporting these memories and to explore, through neuroimaging techniques, probable brain sites associated with music recall.www.queensu.ca/psychology/mcl.html

susan rogers | boston, Mass. awarded: $5,000Musicians assess the psycho-acoustical properties of sounds differently than do non-musicians. This study asks music students trained on fixed-, continuous-, or non-pitched instruments to rate the roughness of dyads (two simultaneous tones) with the aim of quantifying how musical instrument training affects perceptual processing. The findings will extend previous study on the origins of sensory and music-theoretic consonance vs. dissonance.

Arrested Development perform at the GRAMMY Foundation’s 2011 Music Preservation Project “Word Revolution: A Celebration of The Evolution of Hip-Hop.”

(Standing) Vice President of the GRAMMY Foundation Scott Goldman; Senior Vice President of the GRAMMY Foundation Kristen Madsen; Chief Marketing Officer, Coca-Cola North America Bea Perez; Partner, Loeb and Loeb LLP, and ELI Service Award Honoree John Frankenheimer; Black Eyed Peas front-man and GRAMMY Foundation Board Member will.i.am; President/CEO of the GRAMMY Foundation Neil Portnow; Vice Charman of the GRAMMY Foundation Rusty Reuff; (Seated) ELI Runner-Ups Maral Vahdani, Brian Pearl, Dan Carollo and Jay Patel; and ELI Winner William Jacobson attend the GRAMMY Foundation’s 13th Annual Entertainment Law Initiative Luncheon & Scholarship Presentation held at the Beverly Hills Hotel on February 11, 2011, in Beverly Hills, California.

Music preservation projectThe Music Preservation Project is produced each year during GRAMMY Week to heighten public awareness of our work in protecting our cultural legacy. In 2011, “Word Revolution: A Celebration of The Evolution of Hip-Hop” explored hip-hop as an art form, and celebrated the invaluable contribu-tions of the genre and its influence on the American cultural landscape. Presented in association with Centric, the evening featured live musical performances and historical footage, and was hosted by Kevin Frazier of The Insider. Performers included GRAMMY nominees Marsha Ambrosius, MC Lyte, Musiq Soulchild, Phife of A Tribe Called Quest, Paul Wall and Young Chris; GRAMMY winners Arrested Development, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Everlast, Chrisette Michele and Naughty By Nature; Beat Freaks from “America’s Best Dance Crew”; Brave New Voices, DJ Beverly Bond, Kid Capri, Lil’ Mama and DJ Skee.

The GRAMMY Foundation was instrumental in writing and successfully passing the national recording Preservation act. This legislation created a National Recording Preservation Board that works with the Librarian of Congress and the public to select entries for the National Recording Registry, ensuring the preservation of these designated historic recordings.

Since passage of the act in 2000 and its reauthorization in 2008, 300 recordings have been added to the registry.

entertainment Law initiativeThe Entertainment Law initiative is comprised of three components: a legal seminar series, a national scholarship essay competition for law students and a high-profile luncheon during GRAMMY Week that is attended by students, music attorneys, executives and members of The Recording Academy. Since its inception in 1999, the Entertainment Law Initiative has provided $143,000 in scholarships to aspiring law students.

The Entertainment Law Initiative’s Annual Scholarship Luncheon enjoyed significant success in 2011. Attendance increased to more than 450 and revenue topped the $200,000 mark.

Black Eyed Peas front man and GRAMMY Foundation board member will.i.am gave the keynote address. This marks the first time a recording artist has addressed the luncheon. ELI also continued its writing competition workshops at law schools around the country.

The workshops are designed to demystify the process of entering the competition, increase submissions and awareness and provide interaction with top entertainment attorneys. ELI’s Legal Seminar Series conducted panel presentation at the Benjamin Cardozo School of Law in 2011, as well as DePaul University and the South by Southwest Music Conference.

“Words cannot describe the impact that GRAMMY Camp – Basic Training has had on me. When I was applying to Camp, I did not know what to expect. All I knew was that I had to find a way to be a part of this program. Once I got to Camp, I had no idea that in just 10 days I could have a completely different outlook on everything, my aspiration as a singer and even the person I am. I left Camp with so many new ideas, connections and new pieces of advice that I will always treasure. I was able to learn how to adapt and work with others better than I ever expected. I learned to be patient and to be open to all ideas, to be ready to handle any situation that I am put in. At Camp I had so many amazing opportunities, being able to record, compose, collaborate, and perform with so many inspiring people, instructors and peers. Thank you so much for dedicating so much time and effort, to a program that truly has the power to change lives.”— 2011 GRAMMY Camp

“I just wanted to truly and sincerely thank each and every staff member of GRAMMY Camp and along with the people who donated the scholarship funds. Without them, my daughter would not have had this incredible experience. I can’t seem to find the right words to describe exactly what this experience has done for her, but it was truly life changing. This has instilled confidence in her and it has showed her how much more she is capable of and how much more creativity she has inside herself. It has been beneficial and therapeutic on so many different levels. She has met so many wonderful people. I can’t thank you all enough.” — 2011 GRAMMY Camp Parent

“Since I began high school, it has been a dream and goal of mine to be in the GRAMMY Camp – Jazz Session. Now as a senior, I am so happy to have been selected as a pianist in the GRAMMY Camp – Jazz Session for 2011. The honor is very inspiring to me as I broaden my musical experiences from the local, to the state, to now the national level.”— 2011 GRAMMY Camp – Jazz Session Participant

“[Music was] one of the last ways in which we could make a connection on a more personal, intimate emotional level with him.”— Caregivers participating in GRAMMY Foundation-funded research by Dr. Lola Cuddy at Queen’s University, exploring the connection between musical memories spared in Alzheimer’s patients

The GRAMMY Foundation’s GRAMMY in the Schools initiatives would not be possible without the remarkable support received from a number of corporate partners:

Best Buy MobileAt the National GRAMMY Camp in 2010, Best Buy pledged to partner with the GRAMMY Foundation to raise $1 million in funding to support music education programs in schools around the country. Funding will be raised from a variety of cause marketing activities over the course of the year.

Campbell’s Labels for educationThe GRAMMY Foundation continued its partnership with LFE in 2010. In-store promotions featuring the GRAMMY Foundation were run in regional supermarket chains. By the end of fiscal year 2010 the Discovery Through Music curriculum had been downloaded by over 12,000 schools nationwide.

ConverseConverse came aboard as a first time GRAMMY Camp sponsor in 2010. In addition to financial support, Converse incorporated students in their Connectivity Campaign.

ford Motor Company fundThe Ford Motor Company Fund provided support for GRAMMY Camp – Basic Training programs and GRAMMY Signature School Awards in six selected markets in 2009 and 2010. Additionally, a full scholarship to GRAMMY – Basic Training was offered to a high school music student from each participating market.

Gibson foundationThe Gibson Foundation continued its funding support for GRAMMY Signature Schools and GRAMMY Camp — Basic Training nationally.

Sound MattersSound Matters is a cause marketing partnership between the GRAMMY Foundation, the Starkey Hearing Foundation and Best Buy.
