Guitar is the answer for students who love making music but may not wish to take part in a traditional music performance program. Offering guitar classes can expand your school's music program and upgrade your status to "coolest teacher on campus." In our Teaching Guitar Workshops you will learn how to establish a guitar program or bring new energy to your general music classes. If you already teach guitar you will receive instruction that will enhance the work you are doing.
All Teaching Guitar Workshops (TGW) participants will receive:
• A Guitar (TGW I only)
• Numerous guitar publications and accessories
• A scholarship toward three Graduate College Credits from Duquesne

GAMA (Guitar & Accessories Marketing Association) and its partners, NAMM (International Music Products Association) andNAfME (The National Association for Music Education) have already helped over 2000 teachers and 500,000 students put guitar education in a class by itself.
