Do you ever wish you could communicate with someone without using words? Talk telepathically, or have a conversation with your eyes? At Little Kids Rock, we believe that this is possible when you understand the language of music and the art of the jam. |
The Language of Music; The Art of the Jam
Carlos Santana Jams with Little Kids Rock students at school named after him
More than a decade ago, Carlos Santana’s Milagro Foundation made a donation of a dozen electric guitars to an underfunded classroom in California. That donation helped launch the largest, free instrumental music program in the U.S. public schools – Little Kids Rock! And to bring this support full circle, an elementary school in Los Angeles that will host all of the city’s Little Kids Rock free teacher trainings, was recently renamed Carlos Santana Arts Academy and the legend himself was there Monday for the renaming ceremony! |

After visiting a class in New York City in November, G. Love decided to take his show on the road, first to Atlanta and then to Nashville. In addition to bringing new guitars to each classroom, G. Love answered questions and jammed with the students, adding some harmonica to their blues numbers. |
