Let There Be Music is an Atlanta based charity that teaches music to children that have been abused, negelected, or abandoned. We believe the gift of music gives all people a powerful means for expression and building self confidence.

How it works - A child interested in music will be given a sponsor and a music teacher. The music teacher will donate his or her time while the sponsor provides an instrument and any important accessories. We try to find used intruments in good condition so sponsorship costs around $200.

How can I help?

  • Spread the word! Add a link to our site to your site, blog, or MySpace page. Tell people you know about what we are doing.
  • Musicians can donate time to teach children.
  • Sponsor a child. Provide an instrument or funds needed to purchase the right equipment.
  • Volunteer to work with us to raise funds or organize events.
  • Leave comments or add yourself as a supporter below.
  • Volunteer with our partner Chris Kids.

How do I get in touch? - Send e-mail to Michael Connor mlconnor@yahoo.com
