My Project

I aim to use these resources to repair guitars so that there are enough instruments in playable condition for my students. They will also help students to play songs of different styles and genres that they may be interested in. Many students are interested in learning new songs, that need accessories such as capos, picks, or amplification to play.

We have over 15 guitars that need to be restrung or repaired.

These items will help to inspire young musicians and students in creating music for their peers, school, and community.

Mr. Yoshimoto
Grades 9-12
