Summary:

Gustavo Dudamel is the world's most prominent example of a musician nurtured through the Venezuelan Sistema. As the music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, he is the public face of all that is possible through El Sistema. Los Angeles and its orchestra are home to one of the largest and most active Sistema-inspired programs in the U.S. - YOLA, or Youth Orchestra Los Angeles. YOLA at HOLA (Heart of Los Angeles) is located in the Rampart District, a heavily gang-infested neighborhood of L.A. This after-school program demonstrates what it means to place the orchestral ensemble at the center of musical learning and social development. Working fifteen hours a week, students are challenged to build solid music fundamentals - such as aural skills - to achieve technical expertise. Rigor in the pursuit of artistic excellence is central to the program's success. About the series: A professional development resource for P-5 music educators; 8 30-minute video programs, plus overview; course guide; online interactives; and website. The Power of Music is designed to help pre-K through fifth-grade music educators integrate into their practice effective teaching strategies used in El Sistema-inspired programs. The video series features teaching artists across the country committed to providing music-making opportunities to children who otherwise might not have them. Incorporating their own ideas, experiences, and pedagogical expertise, these music educators have adapted and created innovative teaching strategies to nurture a special kind of musical citizenship in their students. Produced by WNET Thirteen, 2014.
