My 6-8 grade music students are fabulous kids from many different backgrounds. They are eager, creative students that are from all social-economic situations. Family life is not ideal for many due to the economic situations today. Several of my students live with an Aunt or Grandparent. Some have parents in prison and others have parents that are addicted to drugs. Our school has over 60% on free and reduced lunch. Over 60% of our school is African American and we have a large number of Hispanic students. We are a below average/at risk school. We have a wonderful principal and a dedicated group of teachers that work hard to help students succeed. With 18 students per guitar class and only 10 guitars, adding guitars will provide groovy guitar music education.
