What you will learn

Participants will explore a broad range of techniques and repertoire alongside their peers through a daily regimen of interactive workshops, ensemble rehearsals, guided practice, performance seminars, and master classes.

MASTERCLASSES

Each participant will take part in an intensive masterclass with a member of the faculty, an invaluable experience that combines live instruction and coaching with the experience of performing in front of an audience.

ENSEMBLES

Each participant will have the opportunity to rehearse and perform in a guitar ensemble along with their peers.

INTERACTIVE WORKSHOPS

Faculty will lead workshops exploring diverse musical genres, playing techniques, and historical performance practice where participants will participate in discussion and practical application of musical concepts on their instruments.

GUIDED PRACTICE

Participants will engage in individual guided practice time in which students work one-on-one with a faculty member. A rotating schedule guarantees that all students have the opportunity to work closely with each member of the faculty.

We offer Need-based financial assistance

Our goal is to make music education accessible and to remove the financial barrier that may prevent students from participating. Therefore, we offer need-based financial aid to as many students as possible.
