Outreach Through The Arts provides music skills and experiences for the underserved youth of LA.
Through a highly trained artistic faculty and partnerships, OTTA offers instruction in all levels for piano, voice, guitar, percussion, wind instruments, string instruments, rock band, chamber ensembles, DJ courses and music production labs. OTTA allows students to discover hidden talents and fine tune their playing abilities in a creative, stimulating and supportive environment.
Lessons
We provide scholarships towards private and group instrument lessons and access to ensembles outside of strenuous school schedules and rules like Rock Band, Jazz Band, and Chamber Ensemble.
Podcasting
Our program includes podcasting experience—from producing shows, conducting interviews, and branding, in both the audio and visual medium.
DJ
We partner with the DJ Coach to provide both private and group DJ lessons, and even scholarships towards our seasonal camp which pair the lessons with a cooking class!
Studio
Access to the music industry includes mentorships behind the mixing board, with music professionals and executives who share their knowledge and experiences.
