H.I.P.P.'S "SONGWRITERS SYMPOSIUM"
EHF introduced H.I.P.P.'s (Hope's Initiative Pilot Program) "Songwriters Symposium" as part of Vista Del Mar's Arts Enrichment Program last year. Forty-five junior high and high school students from Vista Del Mar Child & Family Services are participating in this program.
The Songwriters Symposium is designed to cultivate lyrical development of students by motivating each child to channel their personal life experiences into songs by journaling.
Compositions will be created from their collective work by professional songwriters. Recording artists and entertainers will volunteer their time and talents to record their compositions. Finally, a CD will be created for distribution as a fundraising tool.
H.I.P.P. will give disadvantaged children the opportunity to develop their creativity, improve their self-esteem and self-expression, incorporate critical thinking skills, and provide them the ability to cooperate with others which are vital to a successful life.
In cooperation with Vista Del Mar's Arts Enrichment program and its director, EHF has initiated and conducted classes, while creating a timetable for the students.
- Sept '08 - Feb '09: Student Journaling
- Mar - May '09: Creative Writing & Lyrical Interpretation with songwriters
- Jun - Aug '09: Celebrity selections & studio performance for awarded tracks
- Sept '09 - Nov '09: Mixing, Mastering, Manufacturing
- Dec '09: Holiday release
Please join in the efforts to lead this program to its completion. EHF requires funding to produce recording sessions, CD manufacturing & distribution, as well as crucial music supplies.
Through your contribution you will give a child hope and the opportunity to participate in something they have never dreamed of. Thank you for your support.
