"Guitar Notes" by Mary Amato tells the story of two high school students, Jeff and Lyla, who couldn't be more different. Jeff is a guitar-playing slacker, while Lyla is a dedicated and disciplined student. When they are forced to share a practice room for their school’s music program, tensions initially run high. However, as they begin to connect over their shared love for music, they discover common ground and the complexities of their own lives. Through their budding friendship and the songs they write together, they learn about self-discovery, creativity, and the power of understanding one another.
