HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Cost will vary based on individual wood selection, hardware and electronic components. Students can expect a quality instrument for $250 – $300. Keeping costs manageable is of great importance. The intention is that the program is made affordable to all students. Material and parts are purchased as a group, which reduces the overall expense.
HOW MANY STUDENTS ARE IN THE CLASS?
15-20 students
DO I NEED ANY PREVIOUS WOODWORKING SKILLS?
No previous woodworking experience is necessary, although taking a grade 9 or 10 woodworking course in their home school will give you a beneficial skill set.
IS OUT-OF-ZONE TRANSPORTATION AVAILABLE?
Yes. Please see the application section and communicate your intentions with your home school student services.
WHAT KIND OF GUITAR CAN I MAKE?
Depending on your past experience, keen interest and motivation most instruments are possible.
A brief guitar building profile will be discussed with the teacher in order to determine a successful path. It’s more important to be successful in building your first instrument than to be frustrated in a build that is beyond your abilities or desire.
