Brentrocks Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 I'm off to my wife's school this morning with guitars, amps, FX and picks. They are having their annual "activity day" and i am setting up a mini guitar clinic in her room as one of the attractions today.This incentive day is a special event for those kids who have been respectful to the staff, show good behavior and do their work. I did this last year and it was a big hit! Kids come in and jam, ask questions, request a mini lesson, etc.....its a lot of fun and the kids just LOVE IT!!!I should have pics later...
diablo175 Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Props to you, Brent! Keeping music and guitar playing (as opposed to Guitar Hero playing) alive and thriving is a worthwhile endeavor! It saddened me that, after 14 years of offering Guitar Club in 3 high schools and one middle school I've taught in, no one showed up this year. It was someone like you that got me interested to learn to play when I was in middle school. The music teacher offered a guitar club and on day one brought in his Les Paul ( the very same type of guitar that Ace Frehley of KISS played ) and played Hendrix riffs! I was in heaven! So, thank you for your time and energy. It will likely influence some kid who will some day be posting on a forum about how they were inspired by your efforts.
G Man Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Sounds like a great time for all involved. Nice showing Brent, break em in young.
sledhead44 Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 That's awesome of you Brent! I have the day off from work to finish X-mas shopping and I live an hour away, otherwise I would try to meet you for lunch or something. Hope you have a great time. Can't wait to see some pics.
Brentrocks Posted December 23, 2011 Author Posted December 23, 2011 What a great time today! The kids had a blast and so did I!!! The SETUP... THE KIDS...
Kurt L Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 I spoke at an elementary school's career day a few weeks back... but I didn't get to bring any guitars. :-(How's that Artist working out for you?
rj2858 Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 Great of you to do that. Maybe should have gone in wearing the Ace Frehley getup, and scared the crap out of 'em
