Participating in GivingTuesday is about joining a movement for generosity, and there are

so many ways to do that. Whether you give your voice, goods, your time, or your

money, being generous is a way to fight for the causes you care about and help people in need.

Music education is a cause that our foundation cares about very much. It's innovative programs like Oaktown Jazz Workshops where children not only learn from making music but the culture at the root of it. Teaching kids about the subtle nuances of jazz and the artists who helped defined the genre becomes more than just an instrument of knowledge. Students who participate in this community based program gain skills that can be applied beyond the classroom.

Your donation today will go a long way in ensuring our foundation may continue to provide guitars, drums, keyboards and equipment to public schools and community programs.Thank you!

Attention music fans - Get your Jimi Hendrix T-shirts while they last!

This limited-edition merchandise is available in stores with all net proceeds benefiting The Guitar Center Music Foundation and the Jimi Hendrix Park Foundation.
