In Sunnyside Elementary, a new program began. Students could learn to play the guitar!
Emma loved music. She always dreamed of playing songs and singing. She signed up first.
Mr. Roberts, the music teacher, was patient. He showed each chord, and Emma practiced hard.
The class struggled with sore fingers, but laughter filled the room. They helped each other.
Emma found it tough. She missed notes and felt sad. But Mr. Roberts encouraged her.
Practice made better. Emma's fingers danced, and soon, music flowed like a gentle stream.
Luke was shy. His guitar sat quiet. Emma noticed and sat with him at lunch.
Together, they practiced. Luke's guitar finally sang. Emma smiled, and he did too.
The concert day came. Nervous giggles and shaky hands were everywhere. But they were ready.
Under the bright lights, they played. Their families clapped, and the kids beamed proudly.
Their music filled the school, bringing together students and teachers in joyful harmony.
The guitar program continued. Emma and Luke learned that with friends, any note was possible.
