  • Intro to Guitar Lessons!

    Funded Dec 4, 2023

    Thank YOU so much for your generous gift of five guitars! There will be (amazingly) 25 students who will enroll in this new course this spring -- and the students have already shown an aptitude for learning a brand-new instrument. For example, I thought the first week we would only learn the names of the strings (and how to tune the guitar), but by the end of the second lesson, students were already learning chords! This is a very special opportunity for our students, and they seem to be really invested in their own musical educational.

    In week 2, students really wanted to learn a new song: "Stand by Me" by Ben E. King. To date, we have learned the first two chords of the song -- and all students have demonstrated to me that they can play the music in unison! While learning new chord shapes is difficult for any beginner, I continue to be impressed by their progress and desire to learn.

    "Intro to Guitar" is designed above all to give students an introduction to music so that they can continue their musical education long after they finish the course. Thus, the gift of music would not be possible without your generosity, so again, thank you for from the bottom of my heart for your donation.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Doherty
