As we left for Spring Break, all of my guitar students could come into class and use the guitars supplied by our school. Then we were home bound. We found out today we will be home bound again for the beginning of this Fall Term. Of my 90 students, all but about 10 had a guitar of their own to play at home. For the rest, remote guitar instruction was very limited - they could only watch the videos. Learning the guitar requires playing one! We need your help to insure that everyone can play the lesson from home. Most of our students are on free lunch - meaning there is not income to purchase a guitar. For under $100 you can make all the difference to one of my students.
