The most significant impact of our Guitars for Students program I would say is the healing our students’ and families receive from their participation in our music program. Our student demographics is composed of students from low socio-economic backgrounds. Our music program reduces feelings of anxiety and stress for our students. It has helped our students’ regulate their emotions’, helped them to improve their concentration and their behaviors. Also our student (ESL) body consists of students in which English is their second language, therefore learning music has enhanced the way our students process language and speech. Learning to play musical instruments has improved the memory capabilities of our students, enhanced their hand-eye coordination, increased their study habits, and revealed the importance of teamwork. Learning to play a musical instrument has enhanced our students’ ability to process and problem solve. Improved their self-esteem, developed their confidence as they mastered playing a musical instrument. In conclusion we have noticed that learning to play an instrument produces several positive effects on our student’s bodies and brains. This engagement of learning to play the guitar activates the left and right brain and this activation of both hemispheres has maximized the learning in the classroom. Therefore, contributing to a healthy mindset for our students in the community. Help me give my students five acoustic guitars for student guitar club.
