Brass Bell Music Store

Register at: guitaredunet.org

The Teaching Guitar Workshops were started by members of GAMA, NAMM and NAfME in 1995. The objective: help school music educators start or enhance classroom guitar programs and deliver more music making opportunities to children. Between 1995 and today over 4,000 school music teachers across the United States and Canada have enjoyed TGW. GAMA's studies suggest that over 2 million students have learned guitar in schools because of the TGW.
