Discover Grammy Festival Promotes Music Education

Kids, get ready to sing your hearts out because the Discover Grammy Festival is coming to a town near you.

The festival will find major recording artists speaking to young people about the importance of music education and how it can enhance their lives. One high school-based band from many select cities will be awarded $5,000 to help cultivate the band as well as doing a sound check with the celebrity musician. Artists who've worked with the festival in the past include Robert Cray, Santana, Roberta Flack, Harry Belafonte, Crosby, Stills and Nash and Kenny Loggins.
