It’s no secret that Covid-19 has been a hardship on many people who have not even contracted the virus. Lockdowns and other mitigation efforts have been very stressful for people of all ages, especially the younger generations that have been more active socially than previous generations.

Here at Guitars for Kids of Arizona, we want to help provide younger people with the means to create their own outlet for music. With your help, we can achieve our goal.
