Music LA

Music LA is DCA’s citywide music education initiative for young people. Music LA coordinates a network of professional music education service providers to offer hands-on instrumental and vocal music classes for students in underserved areas of Los Angeles who might not otherwise have the opportunity to study music. The Music LA Summer Session gives children and teens an intensive 6 to 8 weeks of hands-on instrumental and/or vocal instruction of any genre. The 10-week Music LA Heritage Month Sessions are offered in conjunction with the following City of Los Angeles Heritage Month Celebrations: Latino, American Indian, African American, and Asian and Pacific Islander American.

Cultural Centers

Through its Neighborhood Arts and Cultural Centers, DCA’s Community Arts Division offers high-quality instruction in the arts; produces solo and group art exhibitions; creates outreach programs for underserved populations; develops special initiatives for young people like Music LA and the Sony Pictures Media Arts Program, which provides training in computer animation and graphics to middle-school students; and promotes numerous events during the year that celebrate the cultural diversity of the community. The Division also engages in historic conservation efforts and conducts educational tours at its historical sites. DCA’s galleries present high-quality arts exhibitions reflective of the diversity of Los Angeles.
