Vocal Instructor Volunteer

Save to Favorites

Kid City Hope Place is an after school program for high school students in the heart of Downtown LA. It offers tutoring, college and job preparation, academic enrichment all within a healthy and supportive community of peers. Since its inception fifteen years ago, Kid City has been building a music program with an emphasis on group learning and musical performance. We offer private and group lessons for students in all levels on Tuesday through Thursday from 4:00 pm to 7:00pm.

Kid City has adopted a student-led curriculum that gives participants the freedom to choose the songs that they wish to learn. We use these songs as a foundation to teach our students how to perform with other musicians, which we believe is the best environment for their development. This results in a more relevant repertoire/curriculum that the students can get excited about. Kid City is often a place where students feel free to express themselves and be part of a loving community. The music program is an extension of that and prioritizes the wellbeing of the students over a strict curriculum and attendance. For more information please visit www.kidcityhopeplace.org
