THE STATE OF PUBLIC SCHOOL CLASSROOM GUITAR IN THE UNITED STATES
Martha Masters, president of the Guitar Foundation of America, was enrolled in a guitar class while attending Robinson High School in Fairfax, Virginia, in the early 1990s. Her class was taught by well-known music educator, lecturer, and director of the Guitar& Accessories Marketing Association's (GAMA) popular Summer Guitar Workshops, Glen McCarthy. At the time, it was one of very few public schools in the country that offered classroom guitar. Besides becoming a world-class player, she has also become a world leader in guitar education, one who has supported and will continue to support it in the schools. Did attending guitar class in high school motivate Dr. Masters to go to college and major in guitar? That is her story to tell. However, data indicates that less than 5 percent of students taking guitar while in high school go to college to major in the instrument. This is also the approximate percentage of high school band and orchestra students who major in music in college.

It worked out well for me.\" \"At this point in the season, everyone's coming off winter break and everyone's expecting to be tired,\" he said. \"All things considered, we did a really good job of showing up today.
