Successful Learners are: Dedicated to Excellence - United in Service - Educated for Success

This year Mr. Dan Frewin’s Advanced Guitar class has begun construction of an acoustic guitar. In the past, Frewin has helped students construct electric guitars.

"Acoustic guitars are quite a bit more delicate in structure and require some building techniques we haven't had to use on the electric varieties,” Frewin said.  

Students who know the basics of guitar construction are more likely to maintain their guitars more efficiently. Ultimately, the goal of the guitar assembly experiment is to help students understand the fundamentals of what they are actually playing.

Frewin explains, “We think that this is a great opportunity to learn more about instruments in general. This project is much more challenging and demanding than many of the other past projects.”

It’s Frewin’s hope that students will take this opportunity to learn more about crafting instruments and use this knowledge to help improve their playing ability. If all goes well, by the end of this school year, the Springville High guitar class will have constructed their first acoustic guitar.   Frewin’s goal is to have students build several guitars in the next few years that students may loan.
