My Project

Our school offers both a Beginning Guitar Course and an Advanced Guitar Course, serving between 30 to 60 students each semester who are learning the fundamentals of this beautiful instrument. Throughout the learning process, it is common for guitar strings to break. By maintaining an inventory of replacement strings, we can ensure that broken strings are replaced immediately, keeping the guitars in playable condition and minimizing disruption to the students’ progress.

Rechargeable tuners are essential for the Beginning Guitar Course, as learning to properly tune the instrument is crucial for young players.

Having a sufficient number of tuners available allows students to work more efficiently without needing to share, enabling the class to progress at a quicker pace.

Additionally, it is important to keep a diverse selection of picks on hand. As students experiment with different playing styles and techniques, having picks of varying thicknesses and sizes helps accommodate the unique hand sizes and personal preferences of each student. These tools are vital for enhancing the learning experience and supporting student success.
