Little Kids Rock

Document Actions
Little Kids Rock is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing free musical instruments and free music lessons to children in U.S. public schools.

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.
