Electric Guitar for All

Funded Aug 2, 2023

The donations received made it possible for each student to experience the excitement of playing electric guitar and explore the instrument more.

The devices that were purchased which I dubbed in class as "mini-amps" made it possible for students to learn about various and new techniques on the electric guitar. Each student had their own headphones (given in class) and were immersed in the "awesome" sounds of distorted (or clean) electric guitar. With-in our curriculum, the availability of this technology makes certain concepts come to life that couldn't be done on the acoustic guitar. Likewise, it made it possible for ALL students to play at once while I am able to move about to each student giving 1 on 1 attention and guidance.

What is most exciting for students about these "mini-amps" is that they can adjust and change the settings to their preferred liking. With this capability, they have been able to explore and play more songs on their own with excitement. I cannot express how amazing this has been for student engagement and enjoyment!”
