Item Description

Young children learn almost everything basic through songs but few of their teachers can accompany the singing with guitar. Most are bound to CDs or singing without support. Your gift can make day care centers, preschools and kindergartens into much more musical environments that help little ones develop musically while getting ready for school- and life!

Item Special Note

Proceeds raised from the sale of this item will go to support Guitars in the Classroom's free teacher training programs. Our mission is to transform pre-k through high school classrooms by training teachers to integrate musical learning in lessons in order to increase student engagement, employ oral language practice, and promote student achievement across the academic curriculum.  In our free workshops, teachers learn to sing with confidence, play guitar, lead songs, and to select, teach, and facilitate the student writing of educational songs. This daily integration of music with academic learning provides positive, inspiring musical access for all students as part of the regular school day.
