I also will have a separate class for instruction in playing the guitar. By using my experience and knowledge in music, the student will be able to become skillfully proficient in the art of music.

History – Mr. Janecek Shows You History Is Fact
According to Mr. Janecek, we need to learn our past. Why? To understand our present. As a result, we can plan our future. Contrary to popular consensus, history is not up for debate. It is what it is. It happened. We cannot change it or dispute it. However, we can discuss it. Learn from it and educate ourselves on the mistakes as well as accomplishments of our past.
It will also help us understand why things are happening today. Mr. Janecek will engage our students in open conversation and learning about past and present history. From the Renaissance to current events. Using facts and not opinions, he will lead our students in their growing development of finding their own voice. As a result of learning to discern fact from opinion, they can better make decisions for themselves. Learning how to think for themselves as well as reason from facts given, will make our students better people. Moreover, they will be a vital influence in our ever-changing world.
