Judd plans to make a difference by promoting "Kids On Stage," an educational program started in Leiper's Fork, Tennessee.

Epiphone donated 18 guitars for use with Kid's On Stage, which enables students to develop artistic talents, but also teaches practical skills, such as speaking in front of a group.

Celebrities like Judd, Larry Carlton and Tim McGraw live in Leiper's Fork, a small community south of Nashville, and they joined many others from the are a in donating time and money to completely rejuvenate the local elementary school's music department. Installed in the school is a digital recording studio, theater and fully-outfitted music room, complete with top-of-the-line sound equipment. The salary of a full-time instructor is also funded by the program.

Program organizer Aubrey Preston hopes that Kids On Stage will provide a model for schools nationwide.

"When I was a kid, I played in a band, but we didn't have a decent place to practice, a P.A. or anyone to teach us how to perform," Preston said. "With a program like Kids On Stage, young and talented individuals can learn to do it right."
