Students can elect to study one class OR seminar each session. The guitar program is
extensive and unique in that students elect to study the style that they enjoy most. Guitar
styles include rock, blues, jazz, acoustic, classical and a guitar course for the absolute
beginner. We also offer comprehensive bass, drums, keyboard and vocal classes covering
various styles, theory, performance, and technique.
Each course combines hands-on technique with musicianship skills such as theory,
ear training, rhythm studies, etc. In addition, most of these classes include a one-hour per
day rhythm section class in which students are given the opportunity to play with the faculty
rhythm section and apply the skills and knowledge they are acquiring in class.
Classes
Classes are offered for varying skill
levels ranging from beginner to
advanced. On the first day of the
session, all students are evaluated
to ensure that they are placed in
the appropriate class level thereby
maximizing their learning potential. Class sizes are small to promote individualized attention for
each student as well as to facilitate
ensemble arrangements.
