Taylor Guitars has pledged 300 guitars to Little Kids Rock, a nonprofit provider of free lessons and instruments to underprivileged children in U.S. public schools. The guitars will be distributed to schools across the nation; the first 40 were unveiled at PS 34/Franklin Delano Roosevelt Academy in New York City and will be distributed to schools across the city.

Taylor has partnered with several organizations to benefit music education, including the San Diego Music Foundation, which led to the development of the Taylor Guitars for Schools program, which has placed more than 2,000 guitars in San Diego schools. Little Kids Rock has served more than 235,000 students at more than 1,600 schools in 25 cities nationwide. Learn more at www.littlekidsrock.org.
