Donations Provide Free Music Education for NYC Schools

Little Kids Rock, the D’Addario Foundation for the Performing Arts and drum companies, bring free music classes to under-funded NYC schools. The new support will provide the instruments and training necessary to put 50 new music classes into New York City Schools.

Little Kids Rock is an organization that is critical to the growth of music education,” says John D’Addario, Jr., President of the D’Addario Foundation for the Performing Arts.

“We are honored that music industry heavyweights like D’Addario, Sonor, Sabian, Evans, Pro-Mark and Latin Percussion have given us their support and enabled us to expand our program,” said David Wish, LKR’s Executive Director. “With all the school budget cuts that we’ve seen in recent days, the need has never been greater.”

LKR students learn to perform, compose and record their own music from a variety of genres, including pop, rock, funk, blues, rap and hip-hop. In addition to releasing four full-length CDs, the kids of Little Kids Rock have also recorded three music videos featuring student-written originals. To date, the Little Kids Rock program has served more than 2,000 students in California, New York and New Jersey. Additional LKR programs will be launched in Los Angeles, Boston and Chicago schools within the next year.#
