Founded in 2009, Real Life. My Music. exists to create a safer and healthier Detroit for our school children by providing them access to quality afterschool programming that emphasizes structured training in fine arts; specifically music and dance. By offering students an artistic outlet in which to express themselves and by supporting their interest in pursuing fine arts programs if they choose to do so, it is our belief that they will not only learn an art form, but also develop positive characteristics and skills that are proven to be correlated with the improvement of academic and personal outcomes.Real Life. My Music. holds hour and a half long music, dance and art classes three times per week for a period of sixteen weeks. Our classes cover technique as well as an appreciation and history of the mediums. This sixteen-week period culminates with a showcase of the children's newly learned craft.We also offer a program called Field Trip Saturdays. One Saturday a month RLMM provides the students enrolled in our program the opportunity to experience art outside of their daily environment through attending informative and hands-on field trips meant to entice and stimulate their mind. In the metro Detroit area there are a lot of spectacular things for kids to experience such as the Detroit Institute of Art, Center for Creative Studies, Henry Ford Museum and a host of others.
