"A rising tide lifts all boats."
~ President John F. Kennedy
We know any effort to encourage and celebrate more music in the classroom is commendable - and what better way to show appreciation for such valient efforts than to share and spread the message! Although it would be impossible to include all exceptional organizations that focus on supporting future music makers, here are just a few that we'd love for you to support.
Camp ROC Star
Started in 2009 as just a summer camp, Camp ROC Star, founded by Elvio Fernandes, singer/song writer/producer/keyboardist, vocalist, rhythm guitar for the multi-platinum Grammy nominated band Daughtry, is now a year-round music academy that provides aspiring musicians, of any age, with an opportunity to take individual lessons, join a band or perform as a solo artist.
