My daughter's music teacher has invited me to run a workshop with him next year to help the second grade class build and play some instruments.

- 15" scale, <br></br>- limited frets (diatonic, chromatic, or pentatonic)<br></br>
- eyebolt tuners<br></br>- pre-drilled necks<br></br>- pre-drilled boxes.…
My daughter's music teacher has invited me to run a workshop with him next year to help the second grade class build and play some instruments. So that gives me the summer to figure out a plan and source the materials. :) <br/><br/>This could possibly be a multiple class activity, but I'm still thinking keep it basic:<br/><br/>- one nylon string<br/>
- 15" scale, <br/>- limited frets (diatonic, chromatic, or pentatonic)<br/>
- eyebolt tuners<br/>- pre-drilled necks<br/>- pre-drilled boxes. <br/><br/>And maybe...<br/>- copper pipe fitting slides<br/>- formica sample picks<br/><br/>Does this sound like the right level of approach? Does anyone else have some pearls of wisdom from running a similar workshop? Am I bringing down too simplistic, or not simple enough? Also, any pointers to simple one string melody material (other than Smoke on the Water :) would be appreciated.<br/><br/>Thanks!<br/><br/>- Jon<br/>
