To commemorate 25 years of teaching school teachers to start guitar programs, Teaching Guitar Workshop (TGW) is greatly expanding their reach with more information and more free gear. TGW’s ongoing mission is to have the greatest impact possible at this level of guitar marketing.
TGW’s annual campaign will now include ukulele training and a free guitar to every teacher. The free guitar is contingent on registering at least 30 days prior to the start of the workshop.
Teaching Guitar Workshop was started by members of the Guitar and Accessories Marketing Association (GAMA), NAMM, and NAfME to help school music educators start or enhance classroom guitar programs and deliver more music making opportunities to children. Between 1995 and today over 4,000 school music teachers across the United States and Canada have enjoyed TGW.
TGW is growing from 12 locations in 2018 to over 20 in 2019. Locations include Colorado Springs, Colorado; Chicago, Illinois; Lynwood, Massachusetts; Cornelius, North Carolina; Omaha, Nebraska; Nazareth, Pennsylvania; Mitchell, South Dakota; Nashville, Tennessee; Reston, Virginia; and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
