Kids Rock Free is an American non-profit organization whose aim is to help children aged 7 to 17 receive a music education. The organization was founded by the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation in 1998, and is housed in the Fender Museum of Music & Art in Corona, California.[1] Lessons are free or at low cost[2] in an area where music education in the public schools was a rarity.[1][3] Initially aimed at giving guitar and piano lessons and focused on rock and roll, it soon began a technical program for producing music, and then programs for theater, dance, and world music.[1] In 2000, it was teaching 400 students a week,[4] and more than 12,000 students have gone through the program since 1998.[5]
Longtime supporters of the organization include Steve Miller.[5][6] To raise money for the organization, the Fender Center for the Performing Arts regularly stages concerts[7] and Fender sponsors golf tournaments;[8][9] in 2004, the organization received $100,000 from the federal government.[10][11][12]
