What We Do

The Program

PLAY ON PURPOSE

Discover a unique journey that transcends musical instruction. Empowering girls to meet their potential and thrive!

Gifting a Guitar

Our program begins with the simple yet powerful act of gifting a guitar. We provide each participant, aged 12-18 with their own instrument. This initial step not only sparks a love for music, but also serves as a symbolic key unlocking doors to creativity, self-expression, and a profound sense of empowerment. Through the gift of a guitar, we lay the foundation for a musical journey that extends far beyond the fretboard.

  • Provide a safe space for emotional release & self-expression through empathetic listening and solution focused coaching.

  •  Facilitate discussions and activities that encourage self-reflection and healthy behavioral shifts towards ones positive life goals. 

  •  Invite music expression as an exploratory tool to navigate and process complex emotions. *Songwriting & Jam Sessions* 

Guitar Lessons

Begin your journey to playing guitar through introductory lessons that will allow for basic skill development and understanding of guitar anatomy, proper hand positioning, tuning, playing open chords (like C, G, D, A, E), basic strumming techniques, string names, and simple melodies or riffs, while gradually introducing concepts like reading tablature and ear training to build a solid foundation for further learning. Through individually paced learning, you will develop the necessary skills to start making music!

What to Expect 

Ideally, you are just beginning your journey and would like to have a personalized approach to learning how to play guitar. I will design helpful lessons, exercises and practice material in each session to ensure progress and success toward your goals of skillful playing.  Guitar instruction can be provided at your private residence, in office or through virtual Instruction.
