Guitar In Our Schools (GIOS) is a new program for the Minnesota Guitar Society that is focused on creating and enhancing guitar instruction at K-12 schools throughout the Greater Twin Cities metro area. GIOS is modeled on the program created by the Austin Classical Guitar Society, and those being built by guitar societies in Cleveland and St. Louis. It is a new and exciting program for us that is rooted in our history of providing masterclasses and workshops in the schools and in the community.
Our main objectives include:
1. Promote and establish guitar classes and programs during the school day.
2. Provide performance opportunities for student soloists and ensembles.
3. Provide in-school visits by classical guitarists from our Sundin Music Hall series
