Guido d'Arezzo
Guido D'Arezzo was an 11th-century Italian Benedictine monk known for revolutionizing Western music. He invented the four-line musical staff and developed the solfège system of syllables (ut, re, mi, fa, sol, la) to teach sight-singing, transforming how music was read, written, and taught.
Guido D'Arezzo is an inspiration to all to create all things new and amazing! The D'Arezzo Creative Center is designed to follow a path representative of this type of revolutionary innovation to empower individuals and make the world a better place!
Global Mission Social Entrepreneur Club
Participants will have an opportunity to engage in meaningful projects. They will learn about local and global issues and use their gifts, talents, and skills to bring awareness and effect change.

The following are examples of projects members from around the world, including Stanford, Pepperdine, Westmont, local high schools, and international youth, have participated in.

CELEBRATING LOCAL & GLOBAL PROJECTS
20 years ago, SBCE/Darezzo Center founder Joseph Natale started supporting an orphanage in Chiang Rai, Thailand. He sent a team out to access the need and how the funds would be utilized. In the process, they made a video that you can watch today. Their assessment was that the need is very great in that part of the world and that the orphanage had the potential to expand its reach and support the community. Many of these orphans had been rescued from human trafficking and abusive situations.
20 years later in the summer of 2023, Joseph Natale along with a team of motivated teens from the Entrepreneur Club, embarked on a transformative journey back to Chiang Rai. Their mission was to create an updated video that not only assessed the needs of the community but also showcased the remarkable growth and profound influence of the orphanage group.
This trip proved to be a resounding success, leaving a mark on the hearts and minds of the club members. Through extensive video coverage and insightful interviews, the team captured the orphanage's commitment to changing the lives of children and the community.
The experience had a profound effect on our Santa Barbara youth, instilling in them a newfound global mindset. They witnessed firsthand the evil accepted in developing countries and the power of love shown through the orphanage homes and the children.
