The Pre-College Guitar Program is open to all students ages 5-18. Classical guitar technique and literature are emphasized, Spanish, Latin-American, folk and popular styles are also addressed.

This program offers musical opportunities for every student, carefully coordinated with his or her developmental needs. Musical training is not just for the ‘gifted.’ Music deserves to be an integral part of a total education. The skills developed in the study of music extend far beyond the studio or concert hall. The guitar program aims to contribute to the development of discipline, good habits of mind, and socialization in every student.

The main objectives of the program are to teach:

• Music fundamentals through classical, folk, and popular repertoire
• Instrumental technique
• Solo and group performance
• Individualized practice methods
• Accompaniment styles
