Today I was told by a close friend about a great program that is doing extraordinary work within the D.C. metropolitan area. Guitars Not Guns is a non profit organization dedicated to helping combat gang violence, substance abuse, and crime by introducing music to kids in the inner city as well as kids born into a low economic status. Due to their strong belief in music’s ability to improve upon the life of a developing child in many of the ways that have been previously mentioned in this blog over the last couple weeks, Guitar Not Guns puts all of their efforts into creating an environment where students can learn to play the guitar free of cost. I am currently contacting the organization to try and volunteer at a local site around my area. If there are any musicians out there you should think about doing the same. Check out there website, they really are changing lives.
