On Monday, November 8th, the VH1 Save The Music Foundation honored Julie Andrews along with Grammy® Award Winners John LegendJohn Mayer and The ASCAP FoundationPaul Williams, legendary songwriter and President of The ASCAP Foundation, accepted on behalf of The Foundation. Additionally, Natasha Bedingfield, a member of the VH1 Save The Music Alumni Ambassador Group, performed and the program for the evening, presented by LG Mobile Phones celebrated music as a universal language that shapes our life stories with a special tribute to the 45th Anniversary of Rodgers & Hammerstein's The Sound of Music by Kristin Chenoweth. The festivities were hosted by Broadway veteran and 30 Rock star Cheyenne Jackson.

The VH1 Save The Music Foundation inaugurated its Ambassadors program in 2008 around the theme, First Make Music, Then Make History. The campaign, spearheaded by a group of Ambassadors that included Beyonce, Jamie Foxx, Chris Webber, Gavin DeGraw, NE-YO, John RzeznikNatasha Bedingfield, The Fray, 3 Doors Down and Venus Williams, committed to being the Foundation's most powerful advocates and fundraisers, lending their unique celebrity status to deliver key messages through a national press campaign about the importance of music to a child's complete education. The First Make Music, Then Make History campaign's goal was to remind the public that many of our greatest leaders and visionaries - Eleanor Roosevelt, Bill Gates and Bill Clinton all share a common trait. Before they made history, they studied music. At the core of the movement, the VH1 Save The Music Foundation aims to remind the public that Music Education equals Brainpower and they too can affect great change by taking action. The program continued with the 2009-2010 class, which included Jason Mraz, Nick Lachey, Kelly Clarkson, OneRepublic, Fall Out Boy, MAndy Moore, Chrisette Michele and Colbie Caillat. The new Ambassador's join these incredible artists in helping to support music education in our nation's schools.

The VH1 Save The Music Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring instrumental music education programs in America's public schools, and raising awareness about the importance of music as part of each child's complete education. To date, VH1 Save The Music has provided more than $45 million in new musical instruments to 1,700 public schools in more than 100 cities around the country, impacting the lives of over 1.4 million children. With the support of people across the country and the 2010-2011 Ambassador Class including: OneRepublic, Chrisette Michele, Nick Lachey, MAndy MooreKelly ClarksonJason Mraz, Fall Out Boy, Colbie Caillat, it is The Foundation's renewed commitment to donate one hundred million dollars worth of new musical instruments to ensure that even a greater number of students receive a comprehensive music education in the coming decade.
