The Guitar Club

 

At Maurice Sendak ACT Magnet Center, all 4th Grade students will be taking Guitar Lessons as part of the music curriculum. This is a 2-year program which they will continue into the 5th Grade in our Magnet Center.

This program is provided to our school by Lead Guitar, a national not-for-profit based at the University of Arizona and supported by the National Endowment for the Arts. They began operations in Los Angeles schools at Carlos Santana Elementary School. Lead Guitar has programs in over 60 schools. We are very lucky to have them partner with our Magnet Center.

Lead Guitar’s instructor, Jaxon Williams will co-teach classes with one of our teachers, who will be learning along with the students. Classes will be Wednesdays and Thursdays, during the last hour of school. Students will also have the opportunity to participate in an extra hour of instruction and practice right after school until 3:30 pm.
