My Project

We’re starting an after-school guitar class for 4-6 graders! We need 10 guitars and the student books so that each child can follow along as we go. We’ll keep the guitars at the school for safety.

We’ll start with a cycle of lessons that give every kid in the after-school program a chance to try playing the guitar.

The kids will get daily lessons, four days per week. At the end of a month, we’ll form a Guitar Club for all the kids who want to pursue the guitar for the rest of the school year!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
