Tunes To Teens (TTT) is a nonprofit program of the Contemporary A Cappella Society designed to put a cappella CDs into the hands of developing singers. Chorus by chorus, TTT sends junior high and high school students a cappella CDs donated by a variety of sources. Choruses participating for the first time can receive up to 100 CDs for free. The program's goals are to spark interest in a cappella music in up-and-coming singers, and to serve as a touchstone for directors to teach their students the basics of music theory. Since 2003, over 4000 students across the United States and Canada have received CDs from TTT.
Donated a cappella CDs in a variety of styles are sent out to junior high and high school chorus directors, and they give each of their students a CD to keep as their own. The students can lend or swap them with their friends, showing them how cool a cappella music can be. Choruses with up to 100 students are eligible for free CDs, if it's their first time participating in the program. For bigger choruses, the first 100 students can receive free CDs, with additional CDs available for $1 per student (US$1.50 each for choruses outside the US).
