Little Kids Rock
Started by a single elementary school teacher in 2002, the organization now
serves thousands of students in six states. Little Kids Rock's programing places
emphasis on teaching children to play popular music styles such as rock, rap,
funk and reggae. It also teaches young children to compose their own, original
music.
Little Kids Rock launches new chapters annually by training
public school teachers how to use its proprietary content and by providing them
with the instruments that they need to run classes. In addition to serving
children and teachers in the public schools, the organization recently launched
a new, on-line television station where individuals anywhere can have access to
free video lessons. This station may be viewed at: www.littlekidsrock.tv.
The
organization's innovative program has received much media attention, garnering
coverage from a host of national and local press outlets. The organization is
also supported by a number of music industry luminaries such as Bonnie Raitt,
Joe Satriani, BB King, Jason Newsted, Bob Weir, Paul Simon, Linkin Park's Brad
Delson, Steve Vai, James Burton and many others. For more information, visit www.littlekidsrock.org or www.littlekidsrock.tv.
