Mission
MUSIC THAT BUILDS COMMUNITYGREAT BEND CENTER FOR MUSIC DESIGNS AND OFFERS RESEARCHED-BASED PROGRAMS THAT HELP PEOPLE USE MUSIC TO FIND COMMON CAUSE, NOURISH TRUST, AND ADDRESS COMMUNITY CHALLENGES. OUR PROGRAMS FALL INTO THREE BUCKETS, EDUCATIONAL EQUITY, CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND MUSIC TO BUILD HEALTH AND WELLNESS.
Activities or mission (Part I)
Sound Scholars: Great Bends flagship early learning program is Sound Scholars, an entirely online, research-based early learning program that uses music to build kindergarten readiness. Designed originally to serve rural families without access to high quality early learning in our Olympic Peninsula home, the program is as accessible as it is rigorous. Delivered via lively interactive Zoom sessions, students participate on laptops, tablets and cell phones in bedrooms, living rooms and minivans. Each fast-paced, 30-minute session focuses on preparing kids for ensemble participation (learning teamwork) and includes age-appropriate ear training, music literacy, ensemble practice, songcraft, vocabulary, listening, and leadership activities with a strong STEM focus and a range of daily Social Emotional Learning (SEL) activities.

Sound Scholars Early Learning ProgramGreat Bends flagship early learning program is Sound Scholars, an entirely online, research-based early learning program that uses music to build kindergarten readiness and pro-social learning skills. Designed originally to serve rural families without access to high quality early learning in our Olympic Peninsula home, the program is delivered via lively, interactive Zoom sessions and students as young as 2 participate on laptops, tablets and cell phones in bedrooms, living rooms and minivans. Each fast-paced, 30-minute session focuses on preparing kids for ensemble participation (learning teamwork) and includes age-appropriate ear training, music literacy, ensemble practice, songcraft, vocabulary, listening, and leadership activities with a strong STEM focus and a range of daily Social Emotional Learning (SEL) activities. In the past year, the program was ported from English into Spanish, and the Mayan languages of Mam and Qanjobal as part of a partnership with the Shelton School District to better engage our large migrant population.

Great Bend Chorale & Youth Chorale - Community Music ProgramGreat Bends award-winning community ensembles are designed to build civic engagement by bringing together diverse and varied members from all throughout our community. For this reason there is no audition, and fees are on a sliding scale in order to maximize participation and build connections between less connected parts of our community while building community pride. In addition to their regular full year of programming, the Great Bend Chorale and Youth Chorale in this year accepted a Challenge America award from the National Endowment for the Arts to make their very first commercial recording, scheduled for release fall of 2025.
Expenses $34,580 · Grants $28,253 · Revenue $14,491

Great Bend Chorale - Therapeutic Veterans ProgramThis past year, a new therapeutic element (in addition to previous programs like Memory Care Choir and Grief Choir) was added to partner with the local veterans tiny home village quite near the church where the choir rehearses. Those veterans were supported to not only sing with the Great Bend Chorale, but as part of their therapeutic process they curated a selection of poetry to be interspersed with the music in the concert that they felt represented their lived experiences as veterans. Those selections were then read by the veterans in the program during the concert performance. Additionally, the vets also participated in a recording session and received copies of their performances as keepsakes and to remember the therapeutic insights theyd gained.
