Cooper kicked off the day last week at the Paradise Valley Unified School District governing board meeting by leading the Pledge of Allegiance. He later led the students in a class at his very own performing arts center.

The Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation is a non-profit group that gets a lot of help from longtime Studio City resident and renown musician and other world class musicians.

Cooper, a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, presented 24 instruments worth about $20,000 to the Arrowhead Elementary School which is located in then northeast section of Phoenix, where many of the students are from low-income families.

Now the students can take an instrument home and don't have to share. They have 50 students playing the guitar and about 45 in the band.
