Good morning, Chattanooga!
When I was in the eighth grade, I picked up a violin for the first time. I’ve never been great by any definition of the word, but I was grateful to engage with the language of music in free classes at school for a few years.
Exposure to music at all ages – but especially as a kid – seems to be one of the guiding principles of the Songbirds Foundation, which will be reopening in the old Songbirds Guitar Museum after its doors closed last year.
The main mission of the foundation is a program called Guitars for Kids. For every $100 raised, one kid can get a guitar and free lessons.
