Thirteen years ago, Taylor Guitars donated several “Baby Taylor” guitars to Lakeside Middle School, and that’s how the Guitar Program here began.
Starting with just one teacher meeting with a few students after school and teaching an introductory guitar class, with time it became something bigger. The program continued to expand and is still growing today. In fact, as students’ guitar proficiency grew, a rock band club was born.
A newer teacher brought in a ukelele, and now the program includes three teachers teaching all levels of guitar, percussion and keyboarding. This isn’t only in Lakeside Middle’s after-school programs; it’s also taught as an elective class that can be taken during the school day!
According to Parents.com, there are several benefits to children learning a musical instrument. These benefits include improvement of academic and physical skills, social skills, refining patience and discipline, introduces children to new cultures and boosts self esteem!
