WELCOME TO THE FRET NO MORE FOUNDATION! Thank You to all of our friends and fans for your continued support!
The Fret No More Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to opening new doors for musical talent throughout the World and accelerating academic excellence by empowering and encouraging young women and students through studying music and playing the guitar.
We Repair, Refurbish, Clean Up and give Old Guitars a New Life.... And Give Them to Young Girls and Women to have the opportunity to tell their stories, get inspired and learn on a "Good Quality" musical instrument. Our guitars are donated by amateurs...master luthiers...professional studio musicians... and some of the best Grammy Award winning guitar players on Broadway and stages throughout the World.
Right Now there are thousands of talented music students in communities and schools throughout the World who will not have the opportunity to pursue their dreams because they cannot afford a musical instrument....And You can make a difference by Donating Today.
We provide “Brand Name” Guitars, Cases, Amplifiers and Mentorship to encourage young girls and women in urban communities to:
1) Explore New Opportunities
2) Strengthen Their Music and Writing Skills
3) Build Their Confidence
4) Reach Their Dreams
5) Envision and Inspire new ideas through learning music and playing the guitar
According to a study at Harvard University…"Children who learned to play a musical instrument were the equivalent of about one academic year ahead of their peers with regard to their English, mathematics and science skills, as measured by their exam grades”.
“Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife.” ― Kahlil Gibran
