Decades of Impact in Guitar Education
Between 1995 and 2023, more than 3,500 school music teachers across the United States, Canada, Germany, and even Bermuda have taken part in TGW. GAMA’s research shows that over 500,000 students have learned guitar or ukulele in school thanks to the teachers trained through this program.
The program succeeded because it created value for everyone involved.
TGW Has Strengthened Careers
Taking part in a TGW has provided music educators with valuable new skills that strengthen their teaching, expand their programs, and help them attract more students—contributing to greater stability and opportunity throughout their careers.
We Believe Music Education Can Change Lives
For decades, classroom guitar and ukulele programs have welcomed students who might never have joined traditional music classes. Many at-risk students have found confidence, connection, and improved performance through the accessible, inviting nature of these programs.
Empowering Educators, Sustaining the Industry
The growth of classroom guitar and ukulele programs has strengthened both music education and the music industry, as students and schools look for instruments, books, and essential accessories.
