Guitar Lessons


Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, the girls have options of taking electives. Our plan is to have swimming, voice, music, and guitar lessons, however, only the guitar one is up and running at this time. Paul, the president of the organization, has been coming out and teaching 5 to 6 girls the basics of guitar. Fortunately, some of the groups over the years have left guitars down here, so we have 3 to work with. We are just beginning with the lessons –weeding out the girls really. Some of the girls don’t want to continue sadly. The ones that we do have, shown in the picture below, are doing great. Aaron gets to assist as well, and enjoys it immensely.
Music is such an incredible gift, and we are excited to be able to share this with the girls and give them a little something extra as well. Rosany has been the one that is rising above the other students. She is pictured in the first photo with a guitar. She has been practicing and retaining the most. Because of her desire, and effort, she has been loaned a guitar by the organization. Paul has said that any girl that learns the basics of guitar, and can play along with him semi-proficiently, he will purchase a guitar for them. Rosany has been the only one to truly take on this offer. She has devoted time to practicing, and has caught on fairly rapidly. At this pace, looks like she will be the first to take a guitar from Paul.
