Nonprofit helps give kids the gift of music

Free Guitars 4 Kids, a nonprofit based out of St. Louis Park, is helping put guitars in children's hands.

ST. LOUIS PARK, Minn — While the holiday season may be winding down, there's still time to give a child the gift of music.

Free Guitars 4 Kids, a non-profit based out of St. Louis Park, is helping put guitars in children's hands.

Studies show the positive impact music can have, such as:

  • Children who study a musical instrument are more likely to excel in all of their studies, work better in teams, have enhanced critical thinking skills, stay in school, and pursue further education
  • Neural firing patterns suggest that music might hold the key to brain function
  • Playing a musical instrument strengthens eye-hand coordination and fine motor skills
  • Holding a guitar brings an immediate sense of joy, and represents a pallet for creativity
