I want to be able to give free guitar lessons to any student in my school, especially those who cannot afford their own guitar. These guitars would allow me to loan out to students who are desperate for a chance to learn but because of finances cannot have one of their own. Everyone has the right to study music as far as talent and desire allow. As my school's only instrumental music teacher, I have a need to fulfill those musical desires and to help them discover their own hidden talents. Everyone should get the opportunity to learn an instrument.
