"I am a music teacher in a high school. We have added a guitar class to our curriculum in an effort to reach a different type of kid other than the typical band or choir student. We are located in a poverty challenged area. Not every student will be able to provide their own guitar. All students need to participate in something they are proud of and enjoy. This is a hands on course. Having a guitar to participate is necessary to complete the experience. Making music is a lifelong skill. Your donation can make it possible for a student without a guitar to participate in this rewarding experience.
My students need 5 guitars for our newly added guitar class.

Dear donors, Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your donation will make it possible for each kid in the class to have their own guitar to use. They will not have to share! Every kid needs a class they really look forward to and enjoy. Music is a life long skill. You never get to old to participate! Goals of the class include reading music and proper playing techniques. We also will be dividing into small ensembles to get the experience of playing different parts together and making music! Once again we thank you from the bottom of our heart. You are really appreciated. Sincerely, With gratitude,
Ms. H.
