Guitars for Vets Intervention

This was an active intervention providing veterans with an acoustic guitar, guitar pick, tuning instruments, a music book, practice CDs, and individual and group sessions of music instruction during a 6-week intervention period. Six tailored 1-hour individual guitar instruction sessions were scheduled (1 session per week). In addition to the 6 tailored individual lessons, the intervention provided 3 group sessions. Veterans were given a guitar that they could keep upon completion of the program. The same instructor was assigned to a subject for the duration of the study, and group sessions were supervised by the Education Director of Guitars for Vets.
