Other Classes
First Semester
Begins the week of September 29, 2009.
Guitar Ensemble
Designed for guitarists of many levels, this ensemble is intended to introduce and expand upon the skill of performing with other musicians as well as introducing young guitarists to the wide variety of classical guitar ensemble repertoire. Selected pieces will not necessarily be "typical" classical guitar pieces. Guitarists should have some proficiency with reading notation and should be capable of learning music on their own. Finger picking is required and nylon stringed guitars are preferred. If reading skills are lacking, dedication will be considered in conjunction with skill level.
