EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES

MUSIC LESSONS FOR KIDS AT TEXAS BAPTIST CHILDREN'S HOME

After a successful online course for seniors during the pandemic, Wilco Guitar Society is sponsoring guitar classes for kids at the Texas Baptist Children's Home in Round Rock. This class is for young people who are in a family transition. Guitars have been donated for use by the kids, and instruction will be provided by the Childbloom Guitar Program of Central Texas.

"These kids don't have the opportunity to take music lessons. We want to be able to give the kids something to do for the rest of their lives." says Wilco President, Kevin Taylor.

GUITAR SOCIAL ENSEMBLE MEETINGS FOR ALL SKILLS

The Wilco Guitar Society has been contacted by many amateurs and a few professionals in the area who love to get together just to play music. "Playing music together is a great musical and social experience. It need not point to a public performance" says Gabriela Bravo, a local guitar teacher. The Wilco Society believes the area has the right mix for such gatherings. "We want to have fun and invite guitar players of all abilities to participate. The music we will play will be in a range from beginner to professional. Since we have mostly beginners, it is meant to be an excuse to socialize and meet other guitarists who share our interests," says Kevin Taylor, President of the society. The Wilco Society will upload the music on their website so players can prepare whatever they wish to practice. There are various levels of music to try. Those with expertise will assist the newer players. This will be a continual experience as long as we have willing participants," says Taylor. These meetings will initially meet at the Georgetown library. The next meeting is scheduled for Feb 4th, 2023 from 2 - 3 pm. Coffee and light refreshments will be served.
