My Students

Our middle school has a thriving GUITAR program to help bring music to students who don't fit the traditional band, choir, and orchestra mold. These students learn to read music, strum rock songs, and play killer riffs. These students have won several contests including a meet-and-greet with Weezer, an autographed guitar from Collective Soul, and were recognized by the Country Music Association and Radio Disney with awards in 2017. The program has taught nearly 1,000 middle school students to play guitar over its years of existence.

My Project

My guitar classes (currently 225 students enrolled this school year) create a truly magical environment by showcasing their skills on the guitar with inspirational concerts featuring everything from Mozart to Country Music to Classic Rock hits!

I am seeking to obtain an easy to use multi-effects pedal to give our electric guitar solos the sounds of the original recordings.

These students pick up the instrument so fast, and better equipment makes for better performances. Our guitar program is entering into our 10th year of existence, and I'm hoping this upgrade will make for an extra special experience for both students and their audience a like!
