A comprehensive program is scheduled for every level of player- Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. A minimum of 3 classes are offered per class block. Students are free to choose from courses that will best serve their goals, regardless of their perceived skill- for example, one could attend a more complex Songwriting course, yet participate in a beginner's lesson of Technical Exercises. Vibrant instructors holding intimate class settings will focus on different styles including Jazz, Blues, Funk, Classical, Rock, and Acoustic Guitar. Additional clinics offered will concentrate on Songwriting, Theory, Historical Analysis of The Guitar, Playing with a Rhythm Section, and Master Artists (i.e. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, etc). Every student, no matter their level of expertise, will have frequent one-on-one instruction from our skilled teachers and Guest Artists, as well as private time every day working with professional musicians in a rhythm section. In addition to guitar-focused courses, world class professional vocal coaches will be on site offering private lessons and training for those interested in honing their vocal chops. Every student will also have the opportunity to perform with and in front of their peers in nightly open mic sessions, as well as a finale concert Friday evening. We have worked hard to create a challenging and wide-ranging curriculum that holds something for everyone. You will be inspired and you will accomplish more in this week than you ever thought possible!
