Guitar Center Vision Statement
We understand the impact music has on the lives of people of all ages, and the tremendous gift it brings to participants and listeners. We understand the power of music on the soul and the vehicle it provides for our sanity, health, and creativity. We want to help make that gift available to everyone, with the understanding that the process of participating in music is a means to this end; that people don t have to be rock stars or professional musicians to enjoy the rewards of music participation, and that age is not a factor in the enjoyment or ability to learn to play music.
