SCHOOL MUSIC TEACHERS!
WE WANT YOU TO START A GUITAR PROGRAM

If you are a school music teacher you should start a guitar program. Through GAMA's Teaching Guitar Workshops, other teachers like you have gained job security and a new feeling of appreciation by the student body and the parents. Band, Orchestra, and Choir programs are not harmed by the guitar programs; in fact, music in the school is strengthened by classroom guitar programs. We surveyed our teachers and this is what we found.

Teachers who have started guitar programs in their schools have reported that:

"I look forward to guitar classes. The kids want to be there."

"I love teaching guitar! It reaches a different type of student."

"I have gone from 'nerd' band teacher to 'cool' guitar teacher in the eyes of the students. It has doubled the size of the instrumental program."

"Guitar has expanded the course offering thereby making my job more secure."

"Parents are saying, 'My child enjoys school more', 'My child has been getting better grades in other classes since starting guitar', 'My child has better school attendance since starting guitar'.

It's easy to start a offering guitar in your school, just follow these steps:
- Talk to your school administrators and parents
- Get an application form for the Teaching Guitar Workshops.

And don't worry about bringing a guitar to the Workshop. Our GAMA members will provide you with a Guitar worth $500.00 and about $300.00 in accessories and publications for the guitar to start you off.

This coming summer we will be holding several Teaching Guitar Workshops.

If you want to start a guitar program in your home school, we'd love to help you out.
