Our first workshop was held on October 27, 2011 at Children of the Night in Van Nuys, CA. The group was so excited and attentive and their comments in the program evaluations were proof positive of the value of this new venture.
Two weeks later, we met again on November 8, 2011. The kids were just as excited and one of the girls was proud to show us that she cut her fingernails, as suggested in the first class, in order to play better. The group played a simple exercise together and it was wonderful to hear the sweet, simple sound of notes well played. They were so proud of themselves! I am so thankful to LA Women in Music for connecting us with Guitar It Up For Girls.
We bring the red Daisy Rock guitar along with us wherever we go and also use this as an extra guitar for the kids during class.
Even Ryan loves Daisy Rock. LA Women in Music has a great article on their website about our program and we thank them for spreading the word about our project and the great work done at Children of the Night by Lois Lee and her staff.
Alie, Kelly and I send thanks to all and appreciate this wonderful opportunity to share with the kids at Children of the Night. The three guitars donated for the workshop have been joyfully received and this in turn gives us much joy and something to feel very thankful for on this Thanksgiving Holiday.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all from Special Angel
