Course Spotlight: Guitar

Guitar is a newer elective at Atoka schools and is directed by Alyssa Wirtz. It is a beginner class for students that want to learn a new instrument or students that want to advance their knowledge of music. It gives students a new skill and gives them the satisfaction of being creative and playing music. In this class, the students get to learn about the body of the guitar and the basics of taking care of their instrument. As the students get comfortable with their instruments, they move on to learn jingles and songs that they can play for their friends.
Since the program is relatively new, the students will not be performing anytime soon, though the idea can be revisited when the students get more confident with their instruments and their abilities to play them.Â
