Background: Lead Guitar improves student grades, graduation rates, resilience and life skills by delivering free in-school guitar programs to kids facing significant socioeconomic challenges or other barriers to experiencing the transformative power of making music. Our vision is to ensure every learner of every ability and background has access to engaging, relevant music education in their neighborhood school, and contributes to a culture of music making and mentorship that ripples through their community. To accomplish this, Lead Guitar focuses resources on children with the least access to arts education by collaborating with schools where 80% or more of students are eligible for Free or Reduced-Price Lunch. All proceeds from monetization of this video go to the GSI Foundation, a non-profit organization that raises money to support school-based music education programs like Lead Guitar.
