The focus is on classical guitar, as a means of establishing the most rigorous approach to technique, musicianship, and interpretive skills. Students study the standard traditional methods and repertoire, as well as the most modern methods relevant to today’s musical milieu. Students are prepared for the most competitive conservatories and universities, or for the beginnings of a career. Students play solos and perform in a variety of ensembles, playing repertoire spanning five centuries form the renaissance through contemporary music, and styles as diverse as Bach and Led Zeppelin.
