Project GRIT – Growth, Resilience, Instinct, Tenacity

This music lesson program is a collaborative effort with members of the Salt Lake City School District and the Utah State Board of Education. Partnering strategically and exclusively with Title I schools, Project GRIT aims to close the opportunity gap for at-risk students by providing daily, high-quality music and instrument instruction at no cost to students!

Today, over 300 students benefit from world-class music lessons across our three partner schools: City Academy (7-12), the Guadalupe School (K-6), and Mountain View Elementary (K-5).

Project GRIT is a full-scholarship division bringing music lessons to the most at-risk children. Consistent musical training provides a pathway to success, and we believe it should be accessible to all!

 

 

A culture of success

Project GRIT’s objectives are to increase literacy and academic achievement overall from quality music lessons. Ultimately, our goal is 100% college acceptance for those who complete the entire program K-12. In its 9th year, the program is already showing statistically demonstrable results in lessened absenteeism, improved academic proficiency, and decreased behavioral problems among participants.
