Program Cost: $28/ ClassOur very own English teacher, Teacher Scott, is back this session with his popular guitar class! Scott has a lifelong passion for music and often brings his guitar into the classroom at ILA, where he plays and sings with students. His class offers a fun, engaging way for children to begin learning guitar while building confidence and enjoying the joy of making music.
Families will be responsible for renting or purchasing a guitar. Both Scott and I will be happy to assist with any questions regarding size, strings, or brand recommendations. We strongly encourage instruments with nylon strings, as they are much easier for young musicians to play and master. There are many excellent and affordable options available online, including through Amazon.
