My Project

Teaching over 100 guitar students every day leads to a lot of wear and tear on instruments. Unfortunately, we have lost a few guitars this year due to them no longer being able to be repaired.

In order to ensure we have enough guitars for everyone, our classroom needs a new acoustic guitar.

My guitar students constantly impress me with their progress and desire to learn more. It is an amazing experience to see a student start the year never having played an instrument before and finish the year being able to play a bunch of songs and sound great doing so. Having a new guitar will help make sure this can continue to happen!
