GRAMMY Foundation Giving Day To Raise Money For Music Education

GRAMMY Foundation Giving Day is a 24-hour fundraiser to benefit the GRAMMY Foundation. The total amount raised at the end of the fundraiser will directly support the Foundation's music education programs. It will take place exclusively online at www.grammyfoundationgivingday.org. 

GRAMMY Camp offers select high school students an interactive residential 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 seven music career tracks: Audio Engineering; Concert Promotion/Production; Electronic Music Production; Marketing & Management; Music Journalism; Songwriting; and Performance Tracks for Bass, Drums, Guitar, Keyboards, Vocal, and Winds & Strings. All tracks culminate in media projects, recordings and/or showcase performances. Funds help support scholarships to program participants.

GRAMMY Camp — Weekend is a one-day nonresidential music industry experience for small groups of high school students who will gain an introduction to the business of music. Each weekend session concentrates on one to three career tracks and serves as a preview of GRAMMY Camp.

High school singers and instrumentalists can audition for GRAMMY Camp — Jazz Session. Selectees receive an all-expenses-paid trip to the host city of the annual GRAMMY Awards, and students participate in high-profile GRAMMY Week performances and recording sessions and will attend the GRAMMY telecast.

GRAMMY Career Day is a one-day program that brings music industry professionals together with high school students for an insider's perspective on working in the music and recording industries. Any high school student interested in music is eligible to participate.

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 schools. A joint partnership and presentation of The Recording Academy and the GRAMMY Foundation, the recipient of the third annual award will be announced during GRAMMY Week 2016.
