On my previous post, Giving Back: Little Kids Rock, I talked about The Little Kids Rock Music Foundation and how it has changed children’s lives. I encouraged everyone to get involved, to give a little of themselves, for an excellent cause.

One of the many ways you can get involved with Little Kids Rock is by becoming a music mentor.

Becoming a music mentor is one of the most personal ways to get involved with Little Kids Rock. Full time educators in the public schools are eligible to be trained as Little Kids Rock music mentors.



Educators are provided with adequate training as well as resources of various programs, free musical equipment to use with students, a chance to interact and collaborate with fellow musicians, and of course, the opportunity to provide a wonderful gift; the gift of music. Although musicians and music teachers are encouraged to become mentors, a school teacher does not need to be an instrument player in order to become an effective mentor. According to Little Kids Rock, teachers that knew no more than 10 basic guitar chords, were able to become successful music mentors. The knowledge acquired by the educators is brought back to their schools where they meet for one hour per week with a music class. The program then runs for the remainder of the school year and in a bi-monthly basis, mentors are asked to attend organizational meetings.

There are many people out there that would love nothing more than to lend a helping hand. As I’ve said before, I encourage you to get involved, to make a difference.
