Session I only (July 5 - July 18, 2015)
NYSMF’s Classical Guitar Institute is an intensive two-week program providing intermediate and advanced guitarists the opportunity to develop their artistry.
Each class day includes a technique class complete with daily warm-up routine, advanced techniques and performance development, large and small ensemble collaborations, and explorations of style, repertoire and interpretation. Students perform in a dedicated guitar ensemble; receive a 1-hour private lesson per week; and may participate in all regular NYSMF classes and ensembles. The goal of this program is performance, and students are guided in the practical application of material in every class in a positive, supportive environment.
