Little Kids Rock

www.littlekidsrock.org  was founded in 1996 by David Wish.  David, an elementary school teacher was frustrated with the lack of funding for music education in his school.  He started an after-school guitar program for some students and it has now grown into a full fledged nationally recognized program.

The program which began in San Francisco now has chapters in:

New York City, NY
Newark, NJ
Memphis, TN
Nashville, TN
Los Angeles, CA
Oakland, CA
West Contra Costa County, CA

Little Kids Rock is focused on helping the kids who have been left behind because of no funding or budget cuts.  They have developed their own method of teaching music in guitar, voice, harmonica and more.  They teach music in the styles that kids are familiar with and many of their students have made their own cd's and music videos.

There are a number of ways you can get involved and help.  Visit the website and make a donation, find out how to get this program in your community, shop in the store or visit the online auction with items donated by popular performers.
