About Little Kids Rock
Little Kids Rock believes that music is a critical component of first-rate education. Many elementary schools have been stripped of their music programs. These cuts have had a disproportionately large impact on children from low-income backgrounds. Little Kids Rock restores music to its rightful place in the academic lives of kids in our public schools by providing a rich music education program including instrument instruction, free instruments and trained mentors. Founded by a single elementary school teacher in 1996, Little Kids Rock has served more than 7,000 students in CA, NY, NJ and TN. James Burton, Bonnie Raitt, Paul Simon, B.B. King and Les Paul sit on our Honorary Board of Directors and we are supported by friends Tom Waits, Liberty DeVitto Bob Weir and others. Little Kids Rock programs are scheduled to begin in Shreveport, LA this year. More information can be found at: www.littlekidsrock.org
