Do you know how to tune a guitar or a ukulele? We are looking for you! Several volunteers are needed to help prepare ukuleles for teachers and students to learn to play in their regular elementary classrooms. You can tune ukes for the district at home, or at a school! Each volunteer opportunity can be shaped to fit your availability.
Being a Tuning Angel with Guitars and Ukes in the Classroom can be a very rewarding and ongoing experience. Helping us prepare ukuleles in advance of a big teacher training workshop on November 19-20 is one way to assist. Another is to be onsite at that training on those mornings to help teachers get tuned up and tune some extra ukes for their classrooms. This second option makes for a a fun work day where you will meet fellow players doing a good deed for kids.
We'll bring along some power winders, electronic tuners and hand string winders, extra strings, too and show you our step by step tuning routing. By the time an hour has passed you will have made a difference for about 60 students.
This opportunity has many options so if you are at all interested, we are really hoping you will get in touch to discuss the possibilities. Giving even a couple of hours here or there will make a difference for a hundred children!

Mission Statement
Guitars & Ukes in the Classroom trains, equips and inspires K-12 educators and staff to teach all subjects through the power of song. GITC's professional development courses and classroom residencies, funded by donors, support highly-engaged student learning and restore music to its rightful place in childhood and society.
Description
Our work prepares educators to lead music, confidently employing it as a dynamic tool for reaching all learners, teaching all subjects, and building character, creativity and community.
GITC programs are free. They include "easy" group guitar, singing, song-leading and collaborative songwriting instruction on an ongoing basis through six sequential course levels, in accordance with educational content standards. GITC's sponsors from the music products industry make it possible for the teachers to borrow guitars and recieve their musical accessories, resource materials, and pedagogical support at no charge.
GITC takes a grassroots approach to building strong local musical programs that unite teachers, decision makers, artists, families, business people, associations, foundations, and generous individuals in a common endeavor- to revive and restore music to its rightful place in our lives, schools and culture.
