SESSION OUTLINE

FOCUS: (5–7 minutes)
Welcome students to class and invite them to see/touch/play the guitar (with great care, of course.) Then invite the guitar player to talk about the guitar. Things that could be covered: the easy action on the neck, beautiful full sound—other things that make the guitar a highly valuable instrument. The price should also be mentioned.
Then the player should say: “Sometimes my guitar doesn’t sound the way I want it to. When I feel this way, I sometimes take a hammer (pick up the hammer) and just smash the phooey out of it.”
At this point the person brings the hammer down right beside the guitar.

CONNECT: (5–7 minutes)
Ask: If you owned this guitar and it didn’t always sound great, would you smash it? Why or why not?
Say: Just because something isn’t perfect all the time doesn’t mean we trash it. What do you own that is a little like a Taylor guitar?
Give students a chance to respond and lead a discussion about cars, clothes, and other “valuable” items that are repaired, washed, treated with respect even when they are less than perfect.
