This project will bring the learning experience to middle school students who often come to me from their elementary schools with guitar experience. The feeder high school offers a guitar program. Unfortunately, there isn't a guitar program at the middle school level. Students are often forced to choose to either give up the guitar or learn how to play a wind instrument.
My goal is to bridge that gap between elementary and high school guitar programs by offering a classical guitar program to middle schoolers after school at first and then eventually as an ensemble class, in lieu of one of my band classes.
Students can take them home to practice. We are definitely ready to learn and explore the vibrant genres and cultures of classical guitar!
