Kids Need Capos!
Funded Apr 22, 2024Thank you so much for your generous and thoughtful donation. With 20 students currently enrolled in our guitar class, our capo shortage was an often lamented deficit. No longer! As soon as the new capos arrived, we promptly had 2 students volunteer to break out the paint pens and label each capo with a corresponding guitar (numbered 1-25). We had our first full lesson on capo usage, working on Here Comes the Sun and Wonderwall, two songs that require a capo. The only unexpected challenge was helping my students determine which pitches to tune their strings. Thankfully, with a little guidance and some patience, no strings were broken! The ubiquitous use of capos in popular music means that our capos will be used very often. Thank you so much!”
With gratitude,
Mr. Hamalainen
