I <br /> would like to offer small group guitar lessons to the children who would not otherwise have <br /> access to music outside of music class at school. Whenever I bring in my guitar or fiddle to play <br /> for the kids at Carrboro, there are ALWAYS kids who ask me to teach them. Very often they are <br /> the children who are not likely to have the opportunity for private music lessons.Reading and <br /> singing lyrics are powerful ways to increase children's literacy.
