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 Signature Schools
program honors public high school
music programs with awards and
cash grants. Understanding that
many schools struggle to maintain
music classes, we established the

“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
recipient, Edina, Minn. 4
“As a result of the excellence of our
chorus and drama program and
our recognition by the GRAMMY
Foundation, the school board has
funded a project to create a 400-seat
auditorium, and a 2,600 sq. ft.
chorus/drama classroom and rehearsal
space. This award definitely impacted
our district.”— 2007 GRAMMY Signature

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.”

making it the highest number of
applicants to date.
The 30 high school singers and
instrumentalists selected to the
Ensembles in 2007 represented
25 cities, 14 states, and two
Canadian provinces.
Close to 5,000 high school

“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

“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.”

forwarding the program’s mission.
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
“superstar” when he was invited to
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.”

“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.

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.”

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.

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.

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.
