The Joy of Music 

It’s time to put a smile on your face and a song in your heart through the 

Joy of Music! Dust off those piano keys, rescue your old guitar from the 

attic or get ready to strengthen your vocals. You’re never too young – or 

to old – to take private lessons. Ability level does not matter; you will be 

amazed at how much you improve in just a few weeks. 

Bring your own instrument (except piano students!). Your instructor will 

advise which training materials to use, based on your personal learning 

style. Students will have the opportunity to perform in the Spring Recital 

on May 17. However, private lessons will continue throughout the summer, 

based on space availability. 

Call 478-445-5277 to register, or visit our office at 100 Chappell Hall. 

Lessons are $70 per month for four half-hour lessons. All lessons are 

structured, one-on-one instructional meetings between the instructor and 

student.

ROAD SCHOLAR 

Adventures in Lifelong Learning 

Explore the World with Road 

Scholar and Georgia College 

Road Scholar educational adventures 

are created by Elderhostel, 

Inc., the not-for-profit world leader 

in lifelong learning since 1975. 

Road Scholar offers 6,500 educational 

tours and learning vacations in all 

50 states and throughout 150 countries. 

Georgia College is proud to be 

an official Road Scholar provider – 

offering programs throughout 

Georgia and South Carolina. 

Our programs have no hidden costs. 

In fact, they are priced to be allinclusive 

offering expert-led lectures, 

field trips, comfortable lodging 

and all meals. Compare the 

price of one of our programs to what 

it would cost to duplicate the experience 

on your own (if that’s even 

possible), and you’ll see what we 

mean by “remarkable value.” 

We handle all the details, including 

ones you may not anticipate, so 

you can focus on your learning 

experience. The educational focus 

of our programs makes us completely 

different from a commercial travel 

tour. However, there are no 

grades or tests on Road Scholar programs. 

All that’s needed are an 

inquiring mind, an adventurous 

spirit and the belief that learning 

and discovery are lifelong pursuits. 

Take a look – we would love for 

you to join Georgia College at one of 

our programs in Georgia or South 

Carolina!

DEFENSIVE DRIVING 

Save a life! Drive defensively! More than 43,000 people lose their lives in 

motor vehicle crashes each year, and over two million more suffer disabling 

injuries, according to the National Safety Council. For teenagers, 

cars are still the leading cause of death. “Death by driving” 

is the third highest preventable cause of death. 

The triple threat of high speeds, impaired or 

careless driving and not using occupant 

restraints threatens every driver, regardless of 

how careful or how skilled. Driving defensively 

means not only taking responsibility for yourself 

and your actions, but also keeping an eye 

on "the other guy." GC is proud to be your partner 

in striving to prevent automobile accidents. 

In addition, you can save money on your 

Plein Air Painting at the Oconee River 

Greenway and the Macon River Walk 

Plein air painting, a term derived from the French phrase en plein air, 

literally means “in the open air.” It's a familiar concept today, but in the 

late 1800s when the Impressionists ventured out of their studios into 

nature to investigate and capture the effects of sunlight and different 

times of days on a subject, it was quite revolutionary. Your subject matter, 

as well as your medium, is entirely up to you as you discover the 

many ways to achieve the results you desire with your painting using different 

techniques, tools, colors and composition to complete your painting. 

The instructor will demonstrate, lecture, critique and provide individualized 

instruction. You will focus on what you see, not what you can 

imagine or intellectualize about the subject. Register early to receive a 

list of supplies you need to bring to the workshop. This workshop is for 

ages 15 and up. We will meet at the main entrance to the Oconee River 

Greenway in Milledgeville and the main entrance to the River Walk on 

Spring Street in Macon. Since this is an outdoor workshop, you will be 

notified if inclement weather prevents the class from meeting. The 

make-up date will be the next Saturday. 

auto insurance (or, parents can save money on your teenager’s insurance!) 

by successfully completing this National Safety Council Defensive Driving 

course. Georgia Senate Bill 433 requires insurance companies in Georgia 

to give families with good driving experience a 10 percent discount on portions 

of their auto insurance upon completion of this course. Eligibility for 

the discount will continue for three years, provided that no driver 

commits a moving traffic offense or has a claim against the policy 

based on an at-fault accident. Consult with your insurance 

agent to determine exactly how completion of this program 

will affect your insurance rates. Please bring paper and 

pencils to class. This course is not for points reduction.

CPR/AED Certification 

for Adults, Children and Infants 

CPR is an emergency procedure used to revive an adult, child or infant who 

has stopped breathing and/or whose heart isn’t beating. Such incidences 

can occur following drowning, heart attacks, strokes, severe allergic reactions, 

electrocutions, or may be due to Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). 

SCA is caused by problems with the heart's electrical system causing irregular 

heartbeats resulting in the heart stopping. If SCA is the emergency, once 

CPR has been performed and the heart is beating again, the use of an 

Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can restore a normal beat to a 

heart. These portable AED devices are often found in public places, such as 

shopping malls, golf courses, businesses, airports, airplanes, casinos, convention 

centers, hotels, sports venues and schools. 

This OSHA approved Red Cross course gives you, wherever you are, the 

knowledge and skills necessary to recognize and care for such injuries and 

sudden illnesses. Instruction includes Adult, Child and Infant CPR and AED 

training. Upon successful completion, you will receive a two-year certification 

from the American Red Cross. You must be at least 15 years old to take 

the course.

Chair Yoga 

You don’t even have to get on the floor! Yoga is not for just the young, 

hip and flexible. Many yoga techniques can be adapted for any age 

group or fitness level and we have done this to fit your needs! You’re 

probably wondering why should you try a new form of exercise, one 

about which you know very little? Many other forms of exercise such as 

weight lifting, jogging and even walking are rough on your joints and 

can cause pain and arthritis to flare up. Yoga is gentle, fights common 

ailments, reduces joint stiffness and pain and improves flexibility, 

strength and balance. Yoga focuses on your whole body and spirit. You 

will get a complete workout and experience feelings of relaxation and 

peace. With its slow, rhythmic stretching and flexing, yoga is ideal for 

seniors who want to improve their overall health. Yoga is also a new 

social adventure. You'll likely learn a ton of new things and meet a fun 

group of people who like the same things you do. So wear comfortable 

clothes, grab a friend and come on over and try it. We bet you’re going 

to love it!

This is an invigorating and informative course 

that will equip you with the skills and tools 

you need to enter the exciting field of grant 

writing! You'll learn to raise needed funds by 

discovering how and where to look for potential 

funders who are a good match for your 

organization. You'll also learn to network and 

develop true partnerships with a variety of 

funders, to organize a successful grant writing 

campaign and to put together a complete proposal 

package. 

Become a Grant 

Writing Consultant 

Good grant writing consultants are always in 

demand. Learn how you can use a basic 

knowledge of grant or proposal writing to 

become an expert in the red-hot grant consulting 

field. This is one field where your creative 

writing skills can touch thousands of 

people and literally make a difference in their 

quality of life! 

Advanced Grant 

Proposal Writing 

Do you know the best way to present information 

in a grant proposal? In this course, an 

experienced grant writer will show you how to 

research and write winning proposals that get 

funded. You’ll learn what to do–and, more 

importantly, what not to do–on every part of 

your proposal. You'll gain a full understanding 

of the criteria funders use to determine 

whether your grant proposal gets funded or 

rejected. You'll become an expert at ferreting 

out corporate, foundation and government 

grantmakers, and you'll find out how to tailor 

your responses to information found in the 

peer review criteria. You'll also discover a 

number of significant finishing touches that 

can give your project the edge over others. 

You'll also learn the best type of paper to use, 

which buzzwords to include, which fonts work 

best and which types of graphics and formatting 

techniques will make your proposal more 

competitive.

The Pharmacy Technician Online Certification Training Program was

prescriptions and physician orders and apply that knowledge to fill mock prescriptions. 

The curriculum also includes the ethics of pharmacy practice and education about 

prescription medications, patient care and interaction and charges and reimbursement. 

Upon completion of this program, you’ll be prepared to pass the National Certification 

Exam offered by the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board.
