    Our very own English teacher, Teacher Scott, is continuing his guitar class. Scott has always had a passion for music. Scott often brings his guitar to his English at ILA to play and sing songs with the students. This class will offer an exciting and fun way to learn the guitar.

    Parents will be responsible for renting or buying their own guitar, however Scott and myself will be available to help with any questions regarding sizes, strings, and brands.
