Guitar Lessons is Reading

Will-Moore Elementary Students are singing their own tunes.

Nat of kids singing

Students sit in on a guitar lesson learning more about words than guitar strings.

Singer Song-writer Randy Beard aims to teach kids the fundamentals of reading and writing thru music.

Kids sing along to basic tunes adding in their own words to create a story...

(Randy Beard/ educational Consultant) "If you take a nursery rhyme or something they like and you put it up on the board and they may struggle with reading but they're going to connect to those words. I've seen growth where they bring me pictures then they want to add a word and then a sentence."


Beard says making learning fun is an important part of teaching
