“Summer is a great time to try something new,” said Laura Lamere, Pavoh Founder. “Studies show that skills learned through the study of music transfer to school-related skills such as self-discipline while keeping the summer brain active.”

Studies confirm that kids can lose about 2.6 months of math skills and as much as two months of reading skills if they take a long break from learning. Residents in Waltham and surrounding towns are encouraged to visit www.pavoh.org to learn more about guitar offerings. Discounts are available.

The Pavoh Guitar Lessons instructor is Sarah Fard, an accomplished musician and music teacher. Sarah holds a Bachelor of Music in Music Education from The University of New Hampshire, and a Master of Music in Music Education from Boston University. She currently works as a school music teacher in the Medford Public Schools as a guitar instructor, and has led guitar clubs in the Belmont, MA public schools.

Pavoh, Inc. brings together young musicians of all genres and backgrounds. Young people build confidence, self-esteem and community through music and the arts. Pavoh’s mission is to empower youth with an ever-growing network of resources, partnerships and programs that position them for success and help them find their voice through music. Location: 14 Spring St. First Floor, Waltham, MA.
