The Little Kids Rock Program
Little Kids Rock brings popular instruments (i.e. acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, drums, bass, etc.) to schools serving high concentrations of low-income students, enhancing the schools’ capacity to bring music education to children who otherwise might not have access. The Little Kids Rock method helps align music education with contemporary musical styles and trends, emphasizing music that the students are already familiar with, including: rock, funk, blues and hip-hop. Heavy emphasis is placed upon composition, improvisation and recording.
