The middle school students have loved playing the guitars and have been very excited to see their progress since we received the instruments. The younger students at our school are also excited to be able to learn how to play when they get older. \r\n\r\nIn addition to regular instruction in music class, the middle school students have had an opportunity to sign up for private/small group lessons once a week with me.
