The Guitar Foundation of America strives to support the classical guitar, its music, players and composers worldwide. Services we provide to the community include the production of Soundboard magazine, maintaining a website which provides a wealth of resources and connections, the underwriting of our annual convention and competition, the development and expansion of our international archives, and most recently, an ambitious attempt to improve and expand quality pre-college guitar programs in public schools.
