Guitar in Schools
Since 2001, ACG has built Education Systems serving thousands of students locally, nationally, and internationally. Our Education Systems include curriculum development, teacher training, district-level strategy, standards development, and adjudication. We also focus additional resources on High Priority Areas and individuals. Our current High Priority Areas include Title I Schools, Juvenile Justice Centers, and Braille learning systems. Services we provide to these areas include in-person and virtual classroom consultation and direct instruction, free individual lessons, performance engagement with guest artists, instrument acquisition, scholarships, and individual advancement opportunities (performances, career assistance, and internships).
ACG BLOG:
Our blog is overflowing with beautiful stories, videos, and insights. We include one in every virtual concert program, but if you’d like to read more, or see the videos they mention click here.
Today we’d love to highlight a conversation with Michael Fontenot, a luthier who donated one of his handmade instruments to one of tonight’s student performers!
