About

Music will, INC. (formerly little kids rock) transforms lives by restoring, expanding, and innovating music education in our schools. Our network of thousands of k-12 teachers across 48 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 kids 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. The world of music expands through innovation. We ensure that music education does as well. Since 2002, the organization has reached more than 1,800,000 students with highly inclusive and culturally relevant music education. Today, more than 900,000 kids participate in music will's programs.
