  Music Will

  Jan 2024 - Present

  Music Will, formerly Little Kids Rock, transforms lives by transforming music education in US public schools. Our network of thousands of K-12 teachers across 50 states lead a national movement that brings innovative and inclusive music education to students.Using genres including rock, pop, Latin, and rap, our program empowers teachers to build music programs as diverse as the students they serve. As a result, students see themselves reflected in their classes, which strengthens their connection to their school, their peers, and their community. Music Will also donates necessary instruments and curriculum, meeting a key need of many school music programs.Since 2002, the organization has reached more than 1.2 million students with highly inclusive and culturally responsive music education. Today, more than 500K young people currently participate in Music Will programs. Looking ahead, we are working to expand our impact dramatically to reach millions of students across the country in the coming years. Learn more here: www.musicwill.org
