My name is C.C. Thomas Jr. and I am the executive director and founder of the Music For Young Minds Foundation. I am a professional musician and I have toured, performed and recorded with some of the biggest artists in the music business. Music has been my life and it has opened doors for me that I would never have thought possible. Through music I have seen the world and I have learned that it is truly the universal language. Because of my personal  experiences and my understanding of the many developmental benefits that learning music provides to young people I have made it my mission to give back and help provide free music education to kids who can't afford it. This 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation has been established for this purpose and we have been doing just that!
