Horns For Kids is the charitable arm of The Great Connecticut Jazz Festival. Our principal function is to facilitate
and encourage the performance of music by children in their school, and as a lifelong activity. Horns For Kids raises funds
by sponsoring musical events, and awards grants to school music programs. We encourage music teachers and administrators to
apply for these grants by submitting the Grant Application Form. It's downloadable now, from the Grant Application link at
the left of this page.
