We believe that Little Kids Rock just may be the hippest, most forward-thinking model for turning kids onto music that we've ever seen.

Little Kids Rock is a vanguard music program that changes children's lives for the better. The program was founded - and is run - by David Wish, who is one of the most exciting and innovative educators I've come across in recent years.

One day, my Alma came home with a guitar. She held it as if it were made of gold! She spoke of great musicians such as Carlos Santana, and assured me that soon she would be able to play like he does. There was a tone of 'You-won't-believe-what-happened-to-me in her voice.' Alma was thrilled and so was I!

I think that what Little Kids Rock does for kids is just amazing. I'd like to see this program in a lot more schools. Young kids playing instruments, composing their own music and recording their own songs? That is something I just have to get behind!

It has been proven that children who create relationships with musical instruments do better in school and in life. I'm honored to give my support to this incredible organization.

I believe that music has shown me a new way of life. I have to be honest. Before I started producing music and writing songs, I was depressed. By being able to put emotions into my lyrics, I've been able to express myself in new ways. Music is like the key to the soul; it means everything to me. Everybody should have music in their lives.

I like to play and sing with the guitars and they are just like my friends.

 Little Kids Rock has provided us a major vehicle for learning. The changes in my students these past few months in this regard have been amazing!

Little Kids Rock's mission is to plant music in young lives so their talent and appreciation grow into adulthood.

 I had a guitar as a kid because my parents and grandparents gave me one, and I was able to be in a school orchestra and take piano lessons. But, these days, I don't think it's an option for kids - and certainly not in the inner city. We hope to offer access to music for people who would otherwise not have access to it.
