My Project

We have started learning instruments after school in our Modern Band program. We still do not have enough straps and cables for everyone to play at the same time. The Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 2221 (10-46) Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings and Fender Clip on tuners will also be used to support learning about our instruments, including how to tune them ourselves.

Students are very interested and engaged in learning guitar and bass, but it can be difficult to distribute and tune up the instruments each day.

Learning some of the basic care of instruments before and after play is essential, so the string sets will also be helpful so students can learn how to restring their instruments. Thank you for considering our project!
