The GRAMMY Foundation® was

established in 1989 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. The Foundation

accomplishes this mission through

programs and activities that engage

the music industry and cultural

community as well as the general

public. The Foundation works in

partnership year-round with its

founder, The Recording Academy®,

to bring national attention to

important issues such as the value

and impact of music and arts

education and the urgency of

preserving our rich cultural heritage.

Under the banner of GRAMMY

in the Schools®, the GRAMMY

Foundation achieves its goals in

music education by drawing public

attention to the critical importance

of maintaining music education

as core to the curriculum.

Throughout the year, the

GRAMMY Foundation produces

programs across the country that

recognize excellence and introduce

students to the multitude of career

options available to them in music.

We host an interactive Web site, grammyintheschools.com, which

provides comprehensive

information about careers in

the music industry. Features

include video interviews with

music industry professionals;

links to online resources

including degree programs in

music and music business fields;

and specific steps to take to prepare

for music careers.

“The GRAMMY award money was used to update the hardware and software in our computer/keyboarding lab in the new high school music wing. Students in our school will have access to these tools both through organized classwork and independent study. It will also be available to students after hours for creative endeavors.”— 2007 GRAMMY Signature Schools

“As a result of the excellence of our

chorus and drama program and

our recognition by the GRAMMY

Foundation, the school board has

Gibson/Baldwin GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles

The Gibson/Baldwin GRAMMY

Jazz Ensembles program rewards top

high school instrumentalists and singers

with a week of once-in-a-lifetime

opportunities. Ensembles members

travel to the host city of the GRAMMY

Awards to rehearse, perform and

record together, often with GRAMMY-

winning guest artists.

More than $2 million in college

scholarships were offered to Ensembles

members from our college partners

Berklee College of Music, Manhattan

School of Music, The New School for

Jazz and Contemporary Music, and

USC Thornton School of Music. The

2007 Jazz Ensembles season represents

the program’s 15th year.

“A few years ago, my son had virtually no recognition as a guitarist, even in his high school. There was another student a year ahead of him who got all the opportunities on guitar. He had to teach himself piano so he could participate in the jazz band at all. He was highly motivated and practiced a lot on his own. Competition from my son’s high school also applied.

When you called with news of my son’s selection that afternoon in December, it was a moment of the greatest joy and triumph in his young life.

After the initial elation, by far the best part for my son was to actually be a part of GRAMMY Week, to perform onstage with Benny Golson, Jon Hendricks, Al Jarreau, Dave Koz and all the others.

I think the aspect of GRAMMY Week that all the students really felt and that all the parents talked about was that they found other students who cared about music as much as they did.”

“I wanted to thank you so very much for an incredibly awesome experience. I’ve been so lucky to have had this opportunity to make some really cool friends, play great music, go to the GRAMMY Awards and have the most exciting week of my life.”

— 2007 Gibson/Baldwin GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles member

“Ever since Gabe was a little kid, he has believed that wishes come true. He has blown out birthday candles, admired shooting stars, hunted for four-leaf clovers, and hoped for all of the best that this world can bring. Little did he know that all of those practices would lead him to one magical trip to California.

I was unable to witness the Gibson/Baldwin GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles in action, but from the words that I hear from Gabe and the new twinkle I see in his eyes, I can feel how the experience has changed his life. The moments that he spent under your direction and care will fill up the spaces of solitude that can sometimes creep into a young musician’s life. They taught him that music is not only about the notes, the licks, the range, the technique, or even the attention, but about the souls of incredible people sharing their voices.

Gabe has yet to empty his suitcases, which are still parked in the middle of his messy floor, but he HAS unpacked enough stories and moments to make me feel like I did make the trip after all. I know that his new friends will be a part of his life forever, and his new musical knowledge will travel with him the next time he has to load up his bags and say goodbye to mom and dad. Above all, I think Gabe now knows that those birthday cakes, shooting stars, and four-leaf clovers – if they brought both of you into his life, they might just be for real.

Thanks for making ALL of our wishes come true.”

GRAMMY Career Day is a national

program that provides information to

high school students about careers that

are available in music and guidance on

how to prepare for them. Held on

university campuses in more than a

dozen cities each year, these daylong

seminars allow students to meet with

music professionals and discuss what

it’s like to work in the industry, while

learning what it takes to have a

successful career.

The 2007 GRAMMY Career Day

season represents the program’s

19th year.

“Many thanks to the GRAMMY Foundation, the Atlanta Chapter of The Recording Academy, and the Galloway School for providing such an enriching experience for students from North Springs and Tri-Cities high schools who attended today’s GRAMMY Career Day program. What an awesome opportunity it was for these students to gain insight from some of the top names in the music industry. I am most grateful for the willingness of artists, managers, producers, attorneys, and others in the

field to give their time and talents to work with students and enlighten them on what it’s like to be in the business. The ongoing efforts of the GRAMMY Foundation to support music education in our schools makes it possible for us to provide a comprehensive and meaningful education for students in Fulton County.”— teacher, 2007 GRAMMY Career Day

at Clark Atlanta University

The number of students participating

in GRAMMY Career Day increased

from 6,500 in 2006 to 7,850

in 2007.

Since the program’s inception, more

than 7,000 industry professionals

have participated as panelists and nearly

200,000 students have attended

GRAMMY Career Day events.

“Since so much music education has been taken out of public schools lately, it’s nice to have an opportunity to expose kids to an entire industry that they probably only know through television. I’m looking forward to showing them that this is a real business made up of real people. It’s great to get students involved because music is a powerful tool and I’m proud to be part of the GRAMMY in the Schools program.”

— Jack Ingram, Big Machine Records recording artist

“I personally took this as a great experience because I left with much more than what I came with. Along the way, I found inspiration and motivation to never give up.”

Following a Los Angeles GRAMMY

SoundChecks with Taylor Hicks,

a 19-year-old participant was the

program’s first student to live out his

dream of performing with a music

perform onstage with Hicks at that

evening’s concert.

To date, the GRAMMY SoundChecks

program has reached approximately

9,600 students nationwide.

“GRAMMY Camp showed me how important it is to work hard and be determined. I always had the belief that most of the successful musicians are successful because they were good and because they were lucky; however, now I realize that their hard work and perseverance was what gave them their lucky opportunities.”

GRAMMY Pro SessionsGRAMMY Pro Sessions: DJ-

Remixing provided 120 high school

students in Brooklyn and the

Bronx turntable training from

professional DJs.

Participating schools were given

more than $9,000 in DJ equipment

including a laptop and software,

(all installed on their campus by the

GRAMMY Foundation).

Remixing sessions were held at

Legacy Recording Studios in

Manhattan, where professionals

gave students hands-on ProTools

instruction.

GRAMMY Pro Sessions: DJ-

Remixing outreach culminated at

The Recording Academy’s New

York Chapter’s GRAMMY Career

Day, at Pace University, where the

four schools reunited in the DJ 101

Workshop. DJs Faust and Daddy

Dog also conducted an interactive

workshop to expose additional

students and educators interested in

turntable scratching techniques.

One-hundred-and-twenty students

were given two days of immersive

training by industry professionals.


“I must emphasize the impact this program has had on our students. Not only was this a special day for our school, but it was a true inspiration for the students that met the producers and performed during the concert. They have gained so much in the area of career exposure, as well as the opportunity for creative expression through a new artistic medium. One student even got an internship.”

— partnership coordinator, Urban Assembly School for Music and Art

“The trip to Legacy Recording Studios was hot. There needs to be more opportunities like that. I’ve never been in a studio that big before. I am a singer, songwriter and producer. I look forward to working in a place like Legacy.”

Music Preservation Project

The GRAMMY Foundation’s Pres-

ervation & Advancement initiatives

are designed to foster dialogue about

compelling issues facing the music

industry. The Foundation supports

projects that increase understanding

of music and its role in society

and raise public awareness of the

urgent need to preserve our nation’s

recorded sound legacy.

In an article about the 2007 Music

Preservation Project, “The Soul Of

Country” — The Tennessean opened

with the statement, “as soon as

Marty Stuart picked up a guitar and

began leading the L.A. crowd in a

rendition of ‘Will The Circle Be

Unbroken,’ it became apparent that

the phrase ‘only in Nashville’ is no

longer true.”

Two rare film pieces that were

restored by the Country Music Hall

of Fame and Museum with the aid of

GRAMMY Foundation preservation

grants were featured. The clips

captured the last performance of the

Grand Ole Opry radio show at the

Ryman Auditorium — known as the

“Mother Church of Country Music”

— and the first show at its new home

at the state-of-the-art Grand Ole

Opry House at Opryland USA.

2007 marked the ninth anniversary

of the Music Preservation Project.

Foundation also engages in advocacy

work and public programs to raise

awareness of the critical value of

these resources to our culture.

The GRAMMY Foundation

Grant Program administers

grants each year to organizations

and individuals in two areas:

preserving music and the

recorded sound heritage of the

Americas; and advancing the

understanding of music and its

role in society through scientific

research.

In 2007, the GRAMMY

Foundation provided $650,000

GRAMMY

Foundation Grant Program“The 170 hours of field recordings and interviews we’ve been able to preserve with support from the GRAMMY Foundation Grant Program document the work of artists who have shaped Irish-American music since the 1920s. Many of these artists were extremely important but did not record commercially, and their influential work might have been lost.”

— grant recipient, New York University

“I think it’s wonderful that there are those who are so passionate for the love of music and feel that the old ones should not be forgotten in their talent. After all, they were music pioneers. Thank you all.”

in grants to 18 projects. This

figure includes 13 archiving and

preservation awards and five

research grants.

The 2007 cycle represents the

grant program’s 20th year.

To date, 265 grants totaling

more than $5 million have been

awarded.

Through the Entertainment Law

Initiative® (ELI), the GRAMMY

Foundation fosters dialogue about

the compelling issues facing the

music industry. The program

encourages law students to learn

more about the entertainment

practice by providing forums for

discussion and interaction with

established attorneys.

In 2007, the Entertainment Law

Initiative significantly increased

its visibility by adding three new

panels to its legal seminar series,

partnering with the Indie Impact

Music Conference, the CMJ

Music Conference and the SXSW

Music Conference to expand its

panel presentation activities and

reach new audiences.

luncheon set an attendance record

with close to 500 prominent music

attorneys present at the event.

ELI was honored to present Zach

Horowitz, president and COO of

Universal Music Group, as the keynote

speaker for the 2007 luncheon.

Since its inception in 1999, the

Entertainment Law Initiative, through

its national legal writing competition,

has granted close to $100,000 in

scholarships to aspiring law students.

Nancy Wilson and BeBe Winans.

GRAMMY Charity Online AuctionsIn fiscal year 2007, the GRAMMY

Foundation continued its GRAMMY

Charity Online Auctions with an

ongoing series of eight auctions

of varying sizes and themes. The

development of a solid storefront

located at ebay.com/grammy has

expanded our presence in the

online bidding community and

generated increased revenues for the

Foundation. We are grateful to all of

our auction donors for their support.

Both the GRAMMY Charity

Online Auctions and the live and

silent auctions that are featured at

GRAMMY Foundation fundraising

events are significant sources of

support.

2007 proved to be a banner year

for the GRAMMY Charity Online

Auctions program. This fundraising

tool raised record high revenues of

more than $500,000 for both the

GRAMMY Foundation and our sister

Foundation, MusiCares.
