"The California Arts Council applauds Guitars in the Classroom for their integrated approach for teaching music that involves art professionals, classroom teachers, and parents in efforts to enhance learning for students, especially those who are English Language Learners. The model they developed has had positive impact and hopefully will be replicated in other communities."
