The Guitar program prepares students for a versatile career through rigorous scholarly and musical training.
The programs of study for guitar majors are designed to develop skilled performers who are thoroughly acquainted with the history, literature, and pedagogy of the guitar. Guitar majors will demonstrate their advancing musical abilities and knowledge of solo and chamber music repertoire through participation in performance classes and ensembles.
In addition to studies with our expert faculty, students are provided additional opportunities to play for and observe world-renowned guest artists. Recent master classes in this department have included Pepe Romero, David Russell, Sharon Isbin, Manuel Barrueco, Eduardo Fernandez, Berta Rojas, Benjamin Verdery, Xufei Yang, Paul Galbraith, João Luiz, Oscar Ghiglia, Sergio Assad, Raphael Feuillâtre, Jiji Kim and Fabio Zanon.
Four faculty members share interesting tips, advice, and knowledge about playing classical guitar.
