7. How important was the grant from SB Fine Arts Commission to the success of your project:
The SB City Fine Arts Grant has been critically important to the Teen Music Workshop as it is
used almost entirely to provide free classes, lessons and performing arts opportunities to
approximately 200 weekly program participants in our Jazz band, show choir, dance groups and
classic rock showcase group. In addition, to approximately 20 local shows this year to date, our
participants have performed at Disney six times, Knott's two times and five performances at
large music festivals throughout Southern California. These performing arts opportunities
would not be possible with the support of the SB Fine Arts Commission.
8. What impact (if any) has your project had locally?
As stated above, the SB Teen Music Workshop performs at 20 -30 local and charity events each year
supporting the City of San Bernardino, SB County Foster Youth, the Annual Disability Expo, Children's
Fund, Children's Network and all student's in the SBCUSD. Further, most, if not all, SB Teen Music
Workshop participants cannot afford the cost of the free lessons (dance, musical theater, show choir,
piano, guitar, voice, drums) and performance opportunities offered by the program. Thus, would not
have the opportunity to grow in the performing arts.
Please fill in the amount granted and the expenditure figures for your project.

9. Were the aims of your project achieved? What aspects went particularly well, or not so well?
The SB Teen Music Workshop continues to grow and a steady rate providing classes and lessons
to approximately 200 students per week. This year we have added individual intermediate
piano and drum lessons based to the musical growth and demand of our students. This has
required the addition of staff and expenditures, but additional grants and community donations
have kept pace with the increase staff costs. The workshop continues to stress the provision of
free high quality lessons for all SB City teens. We believe we continue to meet the needs of the
community while staying true to our vision and goals.
If possible, please send a photograph, a program or copies of press articles relating to your project.
