The W-A-Y Academy in Detroit received guitars from the James Burton Foundation. They were so proud, they asked us to post this photo online.
The James Burton Foundation supports music education for those in need through guitar donations and music instruction to schools, hospitals, and community service organizations.

So great to see this photo on the James Burton Foundation website. As President of the Board of Directors of W-A-Y Academy, I thank you on behalf of the Board, staff,and (most important) the W-A-Y Academy Researchers (students) for this magnificent donation. Staff has developed “guitar” lessons that enbrace standards for English Language Arts, Math, Science and more. The guitars are effective mediums for teaching and learning. We heard a presentation this evening on the way in which the guitars are being used. It is all very exciting and we expect great outcomes.
Thank you many times over!
