1 PLANET ARTS Planet Arts is a GRAMMY and ASCAP award winning not-for-profit 501(c) 3 company dedicated to working with artists and educators on the development, production and documentation of culturally diverse projects that explore the creative process. The twofold aim of Planet Arts is to balance innovation with tradition by showcasing emerging as well as established artists in a variety of formats and to develop and implement music education programs that enhance critical thinking skills and creative decision making in all students regardless of their career ambitions and choices. PLANET ARTS NETWORK AND PLANET ARTS RECORDINGS The Planet Arts Network and Planet Arts Recordings serves as a resource to the arts community aiding in the research, development, production and administration of arts projects and related support materials and educational initiatives. It is the aim of Planet Arts to explore and develop thought provoking projects that impact both artists and community as well as to serve as a catalyst in transforming the creative, business and administrative environment in which artists work. The Jazz Apprenticeship Program In a musical world where paying dues has become a lost concept, the Jazz Apprenticeship Program provides developing musicians an opportunity to sit in with experienced professionals and hone their skills in a real life, real time atmosphere. Art of Jazz The Art of Jazz celebrates the legacy of the music and explores the classic compositions from the jazz canon as well as new contributions from some of the most important living composers. Using this as a framework, topics dealing with various aspects of ensemble playing, composition, improvisation and the art of listening are addressed. The learning process includes the literature, materials and historical origins that are specific to jazz music. Crossing Paths Crossing Paths is a cultural exchange project with the goal of establishing and sustaining artistic relationships with artists, educators, students and institutions from various parts of the world. The aim is to construct creative bridges which will: allow for a unique exchange of ideas and methods, explore music from other cultures, expand the world music vocabulary, create new work, and harmonize music and rhythm from other cultures with regional concepts of American music. The global fusion will display classic American music interacting with its world counterparts providing a unique opportunity for artists, educators and students to further understand the origins and depth of the creative process while providing a paradigm for the development of new music initiatives and innovative cultural diplomacy. The Open MIC (Music Industry Connections) Project, 2005 The Open MIC Project was created to provide educators and students with an opportunity to learn about various aspects of the music industry from professionals in the field. The core of the project is the creative process (composition, performance and improvisation). Using this as a jumping off point, educators and students are connected to the industry through direct contact with and observation of working professionals. The program also explores current trends in the music industry, the business tools of the musician s trade and insight into essential music industry resources and survival strategies.
