My Project

The school Guitar Club is an excellent place for our students to learn from each other and develop their guitar skills and techniques. They learn how to play within a group setting and build relationships through playing music with each other. We also offer our club members the opportunity to perform in our Fall and Spring concerts. Our Guitar Club also allows the students to spend their time wisely after school.

The Guitar Club encourages peer-to-peer instruction encouraging our more experienced players to help beginners develop skills.

Guitars are subject to broken strings which will render the instrument unplayable. Instrument cables break through wear and tear which also renders the instruments that need amplification unplayable. With your support, you will help us maintain the upkeep of our instruments.
