Quantum Academy
opens 2015-2016. This school will focus on Technology, Engineering,
Math, and the Arts. At this time Quantum Academy does not have any
instruments to loan to students who cannot afford to rent an instrument.
This grant will address the needs of those disadvantaged students in
the EUSD by providing the most needed instruments for their music
program. Playing a musical instrument has many benefits. Music itself
is history that can further students' appreciation of other cultures.
Students learn a variety of music types such as folk, medieval,
classical, and other genres. Music elevates students' performance
skills and reduces stage fright through playing on stage. This is not
only fun for the musician but it is highly rewarding to hear an audience
applaud after hearing a child's performance.Music can create a great
sense of achievement.By overcoming musical challenges students gain a
great sense of pride in themselves. Music also provides team skills.
In order to make beautiful music each player and section must learn how
to listen to each other and play together. According to a study in
Psychology of Music. "Children exposed to a multi-year program of music
involving training in increasing complex rhythmic, tonal, &
practical skills display superior cognitive performance in reading skill
compared with their non musical trained peers.A" Students will be
instructed that this program is sponsored by Rotary and that successful
students will be rewarded by performing at the California Center for the
Arts Escondido.
