Free guitar lessons in Dallas

I thought I would share this story with you just to let you know that there are still people around who believe in giving kids a love of music through free guitar lessons.

“On Saturday, the second annual Little Kids Rock workshop was held at Thomas Marsh Middle School, giving teachers a crash course on how to instruct children in music. The curriculum focused on improvisation, composition and performance, said David Wish, founder and executive director of Little Kids Rock, who visited the workshop.

The workshop was attended by 60 teachers, who will carry the curriculum back to about 50 schools, said Jane Didear, partnership coordinator for the Dallas school district. Any full-time teacher with music experience can apply to take part in the program, according to the Little Kids Rock Web site.

Mr. Wish said the program also will be delivering 600 guitars and 300 keyboards to the district to lend to students.

“We really believe that the children and educators in Dallas need and deserve this support,” he said.

The program is designed to transform children’s lives through music.”
