Photo Beth LaBerge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For 17-year-old Josh Urrutia of San Francisco, music has been an integral part of growing up. It\u2019s provided a community and a cultural anchor in the rapidly changing Mission District.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s found this fellowship in the Mission District Young Musicians Program (MDYMP). Here, kids ages 12 to 18 learn music, both from private lessons and as part of a performing ensemble. It is just one of the free music programs offered to kids by the San Francisco Community Music Center (CMC).<\/p>\n<p>Launched in 2006 with the goal of enriching the lives of low-income youth, the full-scholarship program provides private music lessons and group lessons\u201490 percent of its students are Latinos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very tight knit here,\u201d Urrutia said. \u201cEven with all the differences in age, interests and race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A Mission District resident, Urrutia has been a part of the program for three years and has played viola for about five. He values the connection he shares with the other young musicians.<\/p>\n<p>Urritia\u2019s high school, Urban School of San Francisco, also offers various types of music courses for free, but he prefers MDYMP because he feels at home. It\u2019s also a space to celebrate his Latino heritage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not all Latinos, it\u2019s nice to see other people experience the Latino culture you\u2019ve grown up with,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople who don\u2019t speak Spanish are singing in Spanish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The music center is particularly important right now as the neighborhood\u2019s demographics shift. More and more longtime residents\u2014many of them Latino\u2014are being pushed out due to rent increase and evictions. Some of Urritia\u2019s friends from the Mission District were forced to move away to Berkeley and Oakland because of rent increases.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the teen isn\u2019t completely bitter about the adjustments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe gentrification that is happening is in one way cleaning the neighborhood,\u201d he said. \u201cBut sometimes it displaces people. I\u2019ve seen a lot of my neighbors go. It\u2019s just different, both in a good way and bad. You just accept it, and go from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In this transition period, the program offers a cultural anchor for Latino children and their families. Martha Rodriguez-Salazar, coordinator of MDYMP, believes this is one of the main reasons the center is so relevant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe value is enormous,\u201d Rodriguez-Salazar said. \u201cEspecially because in our program we are teaching the kids how to play Latin music. The majority of them were born here and have parents from Latin America, so having a place where they are learning about their parents\u2019 music helps them to identify with their roots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rodriguez-Salazar also noted that the majority of students in MDYMP would be unable to afford music lessons since they come from low-income families.<\/p>\n<p>Luis Angel Flores, 15, who plays the violin, said the program has helped him grow as a person and offers a space for kids to learn instead of making trouble on the streets. Flores had been unable to join the music programs at Mission High School.<\/p>\n<p>His teachers said the music courses at MDYMP would distract him from his school work, however, the violinist said he prefers MDYMP.<br \/>\n\u201cI enjoy this program more,\u201d he said. \u201cI feel at home. I can interact with people really well, they make me feel welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Percussionist and guitarist Aminta Guevara, 18, graduated from the program last May, but said practicing music with other youths in the area gave her a time and place to do what she loves for free. Being on a tight budget, she would have been out of luck if the lessons and performances weren\u2019t available, she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to work really hard for it [money],\u201d Guevara said. \u201cEverything in the Mission is becoming more expensive, like food.\u201d<br \/>\nFruit carts she has frequented over the years have upped their prices for the produce. Guevara considered applying for a job at a trendy shoe store in the Mission, but refrained because she felt the staff looked down on her, which made her uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<p>But a place where Guevara does feel extremely welcomed is in the music classes, and like Urrutia, she appreciates the celebration of Latin culture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just play Latin music,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t really hear a lot of that, so it just feels good.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[su_box title=&#8221;Growing up in the Mission&#8221; box_color=&#8221;#131212&#8243;]Throughout the spring of 2015, students enrolled in the Journalism 575 Community Media class at San Francisco State University worked on a semester-long project in conjunction with El Tecolote titled \u201cGrowing up in The Mission.\u201d The class was spearheaded by journalism professor Jon Funabiki, executive director of Renaissance Journalism [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":28172,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3929],"tags":[5803,6651,6649,6653],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-28169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-growing-up-in-the-mission","tag-mdymp-en","tag-mission-district-young-musicians-program","tag-san-francisco-community-music-center-en","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
