A union between Cazadero and the Urban Harmony Movement was inevitable. The synergy that brought these exciting music projects together grew out of a shared concern for our schools' eroding performing arts programs. Today music education in this country is endangered. Every year budgets are cut in the area of arts education and many inner-city schools have no programs whatsoever. UHM is doing something about it and giving our kids a means of expression, creativity, increased intellectual ability, and fun.
Music is for everyone to share.
In order to encourage teens of all ability levels, UHM teaches harmony by providing each student with a part-tape with their specific voicing recorded to the left channel and the accompanying voices to the right. In this way, everyone can learn to sing and harmonize. The No.1 limitation in giving this program to the millions of kids in need is funding. Please pledge to urban harmony. . . . An Urban Harmony group made up of students from Skyline High in Oakland and Galileo High in San Francisco will perform a cappella tunes at the second annual Voices Against Violence Youth Summit.
