As the school year wraps up, we’re reflecting on many remarkable stories from our Education programs, the heart of ACG. We serve public school teachers all across the US. Many times choir, orchestra or band directors step into the role of guitar teacher to reach more students, or to fill a need, and that’s a place where our staff, curriculum, and kindness can make all the difference. This January, in Hutto ISD, a first-year choir teacher named Isabella Anderson found herself teaching guitar. We do a lot of work in Williamson County, so we connected right away to help make her classrooms warm, inviting spaces for learning. “I was nervous stepping into a subject I had no experience with but the support from my students, administrators, and ACG made the transition smoother than I ever expected, and the encouragement and guidance helped me grow quickly and created a learning environment that felt collaborative and supportive from day one.” We would love for you to read Isabella’s full story here: https://austinclassicalguitar.org/finding-harmony-as-a-first-year-teacher/ It’s a lovely window into the work our team does every day near and far. Stories like Isabella’s remind us what ACG Education is all about: courage, connection, and the amazing things that happen when we lift each other up. It’s possible thanks to friends like you who believe in us, and believe in the power of music to make a better world. (fb)
