Music uplifts and educates, and Guitars in the Classroom (GITC) helps children discover its magic. This holiday season, you can make a difference by donating instruments to bring music into more classrooms.
The Power of Your Donations
Jessica Baron, GITC’s founder, highlights how past contributions have empowered thousands of kids to learn music. These instruments foster creativity, confidence, and joy among young learners.
Why Ukuleles Work
Affordable and durable, ukuleles are ideal for young children. Their simplicity makes them perfect for early childhood education, and resilient designs like Waterman ukuleles are great for enthusiastic little hands.
Supporting Early Learners
This year, GITC is prioritizing daycare centers, providing starter sets to help children as young as two explore rhythm and melody. These instruments nurture motor skills and creativity at an early age.
Double Your Impact
Our donation drive includes a $1,000 matching program. Every dollar or instrument you give is matched, doubling the impact and ensuring more classrooms receive guitars and ukuleles.
Building on Success
Grants from groups like the San Diego Women’s Foundation have allowed GITC to train hundreds of educators. With new grants arriving, community support is still essential to reach more children.
