Background: Music education improves grades, graduation rates and critical thinking, but it’s not available to five million American children. That’s why Lead Guitar builds free guitar ensemble classes in partnership with neighborhood schools nationwide. Daily mentorship, classroom connections with global artists and college campus experiences empower students to grow academically, socially and emotionally. Lead Guitar’s Vision is to engage every learner with an instrument that appeals across genres and generations, using music from a broad range of traditions, and differentiated materials like Adaptive and Spanish-language curricula. We focus resources on children with the least access to arts education by collaborating with schools where 80% or more of students are eligible for Free or Reduced-Price Lunch. All proceeds from monetization of this video go to the GSI Foundation, a non-profit organization that raises money to support school-based music education programs like Lead Guitar.
