Classical Guitar

The classical guitar major emphasizes the full range of chamber literature. In addition to primary study on classical guitar, students can borrow and take lessons on a school-owned Renaissance lute, baroque lute, theorbo, vihuela, and baroque guitar. Students can take advantage of our extraordinary jazz guitar program for secondary lessons in that area. The program offers numerous performance opportunities, regular exposure to guest artists who perform recitals and teach master classes, and seminars that address career preparation. The major is supported by an extensive collection of guitar scores and recordings in the conservatory library.
