INFO:   With cuts in arts programming budgets in K-12 schools,
        events such as the GRAMMY Foundation's Concerts for Young
        People afford many children their first opportunity to
        experience live music and to learn about its history.

        This year, we are infusing a Leonard Bernstein lesson into the
        program. The GRAMMY Foundation's Leonard Bernstein Center for
        Learning is a K-12 comprehensive school improvement model and,
        through professional development, it prepares teachers to use
        the arts and the artistic process to reinforce teaching and
        learning in all subjects.

The GRAMMY Foundation, a nonprofit arm of the Recording Academy, is dedicated to engaging students of all ages through music and arts-based education programs. With initiatives that include mentoring, archiving and preservation, and the Leonard Bernstein Center's Artful Learning(R) model, the Foundation strives to cultivate understanding, appreciation and advancement of the arts across the country.
