Put Your School on the Map
What are you waiting for? There are likely students in your school who play the guitar, and there are definitely students who want to learn guitar. You could be the one to unlock their musical adventure. You could be the teacher who connects with them and sparks a blaze of musical enthusiasm!
Don't be discouraged if your school is not in a city; nationwide, most guitar programs are in suburban or rural settings.
Less than 20% of guitar programs are in urban areas.
If you decide to start a guitar program, please let me know so we can add your school to the map.
*Note: If you are reading this and your school has a guitar program not listed, please contact us.
