School Program Tour Guides provide small-group tours
to students visiting the Museum with their school classes. Tour guides should
enjoy working with youth, have excellent communication skills and be able to lead
a lively, interactive discussion. Most tours occur from 9:15-11:00 on weekday
mornings. After a series of six two-hour training sessions, tour guides are
asked to conduct two tours each month.
"It's heartwarming to know that we are not only introducing many of the students to country music, but that we're having an impact on their knowledge and appreciation for music in general. Who knows how many lives we'll influence, perhaps change forever, because of the one or two hours we spend with these great kids. Every tour I give in a new adventure. I learn as much as they do-and probably have more fun doing it."
-Fred, volunteer tour guide
"What I really liked about the tour was the amazing things people did in their music careers. Everyone had their very own style of playing and music...What I learned what day was that there's more to life than Hip Hop Rap music out there. If everyone takes the time to listen to other kinds of music then this world would be a better place."
