Guitar Classes
Group Guitar classes have been the backbone of the Old Town School since the School was founded in 1957. For more than half a century, folks of all ages, talents, cultures and voting habits have joined the Old Town School community, guitar in hand, to learn to play with others in a friendly, positive and casual environment.
