Celebrate RPL's Summer Reading Challenge theme of Find Your Voice. Learn a guitar riff from professional instructors. No prior experience is preferred. Must register each participant. (Ages 8 - adult)
East Branch (6685 E. State St.) will be hosting Guitar Center during a community outreach mission to bring music, reading music, and playing a guitar to those with no (or very limited) experience. Anyone age 8 through adult can register to learn a familiar guitar riff at this free event. Come Find Your Voice and newfound guitar-playing talent/skill! Register via RPL's website www.rockfordpubliclibrary.org then click on Events. During the event, Guitar Center will be offering a discount of 25% off of your first month of lessons. If you would like to start taking lessons this is the perfect event for you.
This is a registered event with 3 time slots to choose from (1 TIME SLOT PER PERSON, PLEASE) and 16 participants per time slot. Walk-ins welcome but not encouraged as RPL and Guitar Center cannot guarantee any open time slots to those individuals (openings do happen but only when time slots remain open at event start time or when those who signed up either do not attend or do not cancel). If you sign up and cannot attend, please have the courtesy to cancel so someone else has a chance. Please call Abby at 815-966-2755; I will gladly cancel for you.
