What they Do

The VH1 Save The Music Foundation helps develop long-term, sustainable instrumental music programs that provide children with equal access to music education regardless of their financial situation.

Inspiration

The inspiration for The Foundation grew out of John Sykes’s volunteer experience as Principal for a Day at the Brooklyn, New York Public school. John saw firsthand how the students in the music program were struggling due to the great need for musical instruments and he was inspired to look into the problem and learn more about the benefits a student receives from studying a musical instrument.
