Brea Jiu-Jitsu currently offers an after school program where we pick up students from school and bring them to our gym. They receive tutoring in homework, music, chess and Jiu-Jitsu classes. It is a low cost ($150/month all inclusive) program and helps many students who lack structure in the after school hours learn valuable life skills. General mentoring is also provided on diet and positive lifestyle choices. 

Our music classes are currently limited to instruction in music theory (ear training, music notation, rhythm games ect). While a valuable area of study, students are unable to connect well as they have no way to put the theory in practice. To help the students connect with music in a way that would make a greater impact, we are attempting to provide our 12 after school kids with a trumpet and practice mute. 

Instruction would be the easy part! Prior to opening Brea Jiu-Jitsu our instructor was a public school music teacher for 10 years and goes by the nickname "TrumpetDan" in the Jiu-Jitsu community for a reason! Students would have supervised practice DAILY. School band programs for this age in our area only meet once weekly for an hour. This program would increase the skill level (an confidence) well beyond peers in their elementary school music programs. 

With the money donated we would purchase quality used student quality instruments off craigslist and ebay. We hope to keep the cost per instrument around $200. They would be used for all future after school kids with no additional fee and ensure generations of kids be exposed to the benefits music has to offer.
