New Summit Guitar Club for Upper School Students
The Summit Guitar Club's goal is to give members, from absolute novice to advanced skill level, a platform to share their guitar-centric experiences while learning from others. Our club plans on meeting every
Friday after school, for grades six through twelve. The club will be student-organized, having student ambassadors from high school and as well as an adult supervisor. Each week, we will share resources with each other, work on taming any nerves while playing, hold informal seminars with topics ranging from changing guitar strings to proper fundamentals, and we are currently looking into the possibility of having guest speakers come in to speak to the club.
If you're interested in joining The Summit Guitar Club, we have sent out a
Google Form to every upper school student that they need to fill out to show their interest and background in guitar. After we analyze the results of that form, we will have more details available for those who have let us know they are interested in joining.
For more information contact
Alan Ramsey, one of our ambassadors.
Thank you for your time,
The Summit Guitar Club Ambassadors
