WHY: GRAMMY In The Schools Live! incorporates elements of several GRAMMY Museum Foundation education programs, including GRAMMY Camp, GRAMMY Museum Summer Session, GRAMMY Career Day, and the Music Educator Award. These programs receive support from Ford Motor Company Fund as part of Ford’s commitment to music education.

GRAMMY Camp offers selected high school students an interactive nonresidential summer music experience. Focusing on all aspects of commercial music, this unique opportunity provides instruction by industry professionals in an immersive, creative environment with cutting-edge technology in professional facilities. The program offers eight music career tracks: Audio Engineering; Electronic Music Production; Music Business; Music Journalism; Performance–Instrumental; Performance–Vocal; Songwriting; and Video Production. All tracks culminate in media projects, recordings and/or showcase performances. Funds help support scholarships to program participants. The 2019 GRAMMY Camp application deadline is March 31, 2019. Financial assistance is available to qualified applicants. Applications are available at www.grammycamp.com.

GRAMMY Museum Summer Session is a part of a suite of education programs that take place at the GRAMMY Museum inside the Clive Davis Theater. This program provides developing songwriters the resources necessary to build a solid foundation in songwriting with instruction and counsel from industry professionals. 

The Music Educator Award was established to recognize current educators (kindergarten through college, public and private schools) who have made a significant and lasting contribution to the field of music education and who demonstrate a commitment to the broader cause of maintaining music education in the schools. A joint partnership and presentation of the Recording Academy and the GRAMMY Museum, this special award will be presented on the Recording Academy's GRAMMY Salute To Music Legends®" PBS special. The deadline to nominate a teacher for the seventh annual award is March 15, 2019.

ABOUT THE GRAMMY MUSEUM
Established in 2008 as a partnership between the Recording Academy and AEG, the GRAMMY Museum is a nonprofit organization dedicated to cultivating a greater understanding of the history and significance of music. Paying tribute to our collective musical heritage, the Museum explores and celebrates all aspects of the art form—from the technology of the recording process to the legends who've made lasting marks on our cultural identity. In 2017, the Museum integrated with its sister organization, the GRAMMY Foundation®, to broaden the reach of its music education and preservation initiatives. As a unified organization, today, the GRAMMY Museum fulfills its mission of making music a valued and indelible part of our society through exhibits, education, grants, and public programming.
