ABOUT

The Manitoba Classroom Guitar Association (MCGA) is a non-profit organization that advocates on behalf of music educators and classroom guitar education in Manitoba. 

​

The MCGA will be offering a free online PD session on Wed, Nov 18 @ 7pm via Zoom.

​

The session will featured experienced guitar educators, providing advice on pedagogy, instrument maintenance, techniques, and other general support.

​

We are hoping this may be valuable for teachers who find themselves teaching guitar in their music classes and have little to no experience teaching guitar.
