Review for Guitars in the Classroom, San Diego, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars

This intergenerational program is designed to teach both elementary aged students and senior citizens how to play the guitar and sing songs.

Every time both groups met, it was magical, always smiles and songs.

Over the past 10 years, I've coordinated programs in the Rutland, Vermont area, and have help coordinate new programs in the northeast region.
