SlickSugar Things We Dig

		The Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation (MHOF) Across the nation, school and community music programs have been discontinued or severely diminished due to budget cuts. The positive effects of music education on children’s emotional and intellectual growth have been proven. MHOF sees the importance of music in the lives of all children, and seeks to keep music alive in our schools. www.mhopus.org

		Little Kids Rock provides free musical instruments and instruction for public school students who have been left behind due to budget cuts. Starting with one teacher in one class, LKR now reaches over 45,000 kids in 22 cities nationwide. The program focuses on popular music styles that the students already listen to, including rock, blues, rap and hip-hop. Heavy emphasis is put on composition, improvisation and recording. Kids regularly record their own music, create CDs even make their own rock videos. One of the things that makes Little Kids Rock so successful is that after training teachers, the program can be up and running quickly and at no cost to the school. We build on the expertise and skills of music teachers and give schools the flexibility to offer classes within the school day or as after-school enrichment. Because all instruments are donated, all kids have the chance to learn, play and rock out! www.littlekidsrock.org/index.html
