Guitar Instructor
Jan, 2008 - Jan, 2010M.I.N.K.H.
I donated my time and taught guitar group classes (or 6 or less) to troubled or underprivileged youth every Saturday for 2 years. The Program called M.I.N.K.H. or Musical Instruments N' Kids Hands was very special. I would teach to kids that never had a chance to pick up an instrument before. The main goal was to get the students familiar with the instrument they chose, but we also discussed making goals, how to practice, and building confidence. They kids would come in shy and barley said a word after 6 weeks they knew how to play a song, smiled and talked with all of us instructors and they held their heads a little bit higher every week. Such an amazing transformation to see!
