Free Music Lessons For Katrina Kids

Posted: 11:02 AM ET

A special program for at-risk youth in New Orleans.

It began as a summer program to keep kids off the streets. Now it's blossomed into a year round music haven.

CNN's Fredricka Whitfield reports.

lets face the music this is good thing for the kids but this project is a tempoary fix for a long term problem what the people of new orleans need is job creation such as these so called shovel ready jobs to rebuild there levies and homes to prevent this travisty from happening again so far the shovel ready job thing has been nothing but a lie .

I'm now 19 and experiencing being a dad. I must say although it feels good it's still hard. I knew it wouldn't be easy but to be honest, the hard part is having to balance time. My daughter is great and makes managing her never dreadful. -Teen dad

I think it is a good idea to give the Katrina Kids free music lessons because of what they have been through. Hopefully they are happy now.
