Cigar Guitar

Pair the science of sound with a hands-on guitar-making activity and you’ve got a recipe for student engagement. Third grade students at Oakhurst Elementary worked in teams to build one-string guitars using cigar boxes and integrated their knowledge of music and science with the practical skills of collaboration, problem-solving, and tool safety. Teachers Cindy Aldridge and Courtney Hartnett applied for a grant to support this rockin’ project.
