  9. Music Process with ADC Partnered with Chaplain Antoinette Burwell, had background in music Chaplain Burwell worked with music students at CSULA – three discussions regarding the mission of ADC and the mission of our musicians Came up with a plan together-mutually beneficial Three words identified by Chaplain that would work in her curriculum. Healing, Confidence, Joy Students assigned to find songs that inspire or illustrate these three words. Half in Spanish.

  10. Music Process towards Music Goals Students found and pitched songs to group Group voted on 12 songs If your song was chosen, it was your responsibility to arrange it for the group we have - with the talents we have, rehearse it, know when it was ready for performance, lead the performance.

Songs, with ukulele, guitar, piano, a cappellaarranged and performed by students Somewhere over the rainbow/What a wonderful world Me Llamancalle Let it be Beimirbist du schon Me hacesfalta Lift Thine Eyes Voyavivir A Dream is a Wish La vie en rose Creo en me A la nanita nana Wakawaka Home***

  12. Performances/Interactive Events • English Service • Spanish Service • ADC Women’s Lobby Concert • Garden top celebration • Each song had a sing-a-long element. The women joined us on each one. The big hit was an arrangement of “Home” by Philip Phillips by student, Jenny Tran.

  13. Outcomes Music Students WIN ADC Students WIN unlikely leaders emerged everyone contributed to every song musical skills improved because they wanted to be good for the people they were serving-self-evaluated arranging, conducting, rehearsing, harmonizing, accompanying skills improved quickly with deadline of performances. CSULA’s willingness to give time and talent to the ADC students demonstrated what they could do Caused VP to have music played in lobby for women who came in off streets for simple change of clothes and shower – played classical music Opened the door for other arts including liturgical dance One student came off suicide watch, largely due to her daily singing after our work with then Inspired memory of where they came from and hope for future to pass on to their children

  14. From ADC Michelle Gonzales has said, “Secular music and Sacred theology teach us that everyday popular music is an entry point into discussions of the serious contemporary theological issues.” – Healing, Joy, and Confidence were the admission tickets into the hearts of the students and staff of the ADC. Dr. Kane’s students came prepared, challenged, and excited about walking into the unknown, A Women’s Rehabilitation Center on skid row in Los Angeles. Today, praises continue to ring out regarding CSULA, as Dr. Kane and her student’s music remains centered on the objectives of healing, joy, and confidence that music brings. The work of CSULA musicians continues to resonate within the walls of the ADC and of course, the hearts and memories of students and staff. ~Antoinette Burwell, Chaplain ADC
