Fall “Vets & Guitars” 2025

Veterans are invited to sign up for the Fall “Vets & Guitars” course, featuring beginning and continuing acoustic guitar lessons. We supply the instruments and basic supplies. 

Art and music programs have been found to be helpful to many Veterans who are managing PTSD. The “Vets & Guitars” classes are a great experience to share with other Veterans. This program is offered to military Veterans free of charge.

Lessons will begin on Thursday, September 4
Classes will for the most part meet every Thursday evening for 10 sessions.
Beginning Acoustic Guitar Class: 4:30-5:30pm
Continuing Acoustic Guitar Class: 6-7pm (for Veterans who completed the beginning guitar class)
Note: For those who have experience playing guitar but have not taken the beginner course, please reach out to Theresa to see which course would suit you best.
Instructor: Victoria Shoemaker of the band “Virginia Steel” (FB: virginiasteelmusic)
