Participate in the Program
Our program is targeted to foster kids and at-risk youth ages 8-18 using high teacher-to-student ratios. Each class consists of a maximum of 10 students with three adult instructors. Each program is 8 weeks long with a one hour session each week.
In addition to learning how to master changing from one chord to another, children learn perseverance, discipline, and build self-esteem. And more importantly, the kids learn to enjoy the interaction and have fun in a group setting.
Those kids who complete the full 8 week program have earned the right to keep the guitar and are invited to return for a second 8-week session of more advanced instruction!
