Spring Vets & Guitars Program 2023

Veterans are invited to sign up for the Spring 2023 “Vets & Guitars” Program.

This 10-session course features beginning acoustic guitar lessons—and also ukulele lessons!—for Veterans. We supply the instruments and basic supplies for beginner instruction. 

Lessons will begin on Thursday, March 23
Classes will for the most part meet every Thursday evening for 10 sessions.
5:30pm for beginner ukulele
7pm for beginner guitar
Instructor: Victoria Shoemaker of the band “Virginia Steel” (FB: virginiasteelmusic)
Class location: The Highground Museum (W7031 Ridge Rd, Neillsville, WI 54456)

Veterans who have zero experience with either instrument should pick one or the other. Veterans who have some experience with either instrument are invited to sign up for both classes.

Veterans, please sign up early! To register for the acoustic guitar or ukulele course, or for more information, please send an email to museum@thehighground.us or call Theresa at 715-743-4224.

These lessons are FREE for Veterans due to the generosity of our sponsors.

This program is made possible because of the support and generosity of others. Major funding for the 2023 series of Vets & Guitars programs has come from grants from the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA) and the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT). Additional sponsors include Lawrence Kisewski, Morgan Music and Julie Diesing. We also thank Jennifer Tieman and the Willard Well for raising funds and supporting this program and Ken McEwen for helping get the program off the ground.

It takes $150 to sponsor a Veteran for the program. If you would like to help a Veteran attend the program by sponsoring them, please contact Theresa (contact information above.
