Learning an instrument improves grades, graduation rates and critical thinking but millions of American students don’t have access to music classes. Lead Guitar is changing that.
80% of Lead Guitar students improve their cumulative GPA after two years of participation.
School absences decline by 52% among participants deemed at-risk of dropping out by their school, and 84% of participating school teachers believe Lead Guitar contributes to a reduction in incidents of adverse behavior among students.
Teachers and Student Aides reported general focus and behavior in school as ‘Greatly Improved’ (4.8 out of 5) among participants in Lead Guitar’s Adaptive Program.
89% of school teachers report that their partnership with Lead Guitar contributes to the growth in students' resilience in overcoming obstacles or challenges, and 93% witness growth in students’ ability to collaborate and work as a team.
Lead Guitar engages students, teachers, schools and their communities through Four Pillars of Service: Classroom Instruction and Curriculum delivered by an international team of Teaching Artists; Accredited Professional Development for school teachers; In-School Assemblies by global touring artists; and Student Performances and experiential learning opportunities on local college campuses.
