Description:

This course is meant to be a fun group class and will appeal to amateur players or serious students who want to refine their knowledge further. We will look at the players, the composers, and the history associated with each lesson topic. The course will roughly follow “A Concise History of the Classical Guitar” by Graham Wade, with optional reading of about 20-30 pages each session. Participants will find the writing easy to follow and not overly “academic” or dense. The longer lesson time (approximately 75 minutes) will allow for more in-class listening and discussion. Music playlists will be given to the students for further self-study on each topic.

People will be able to join this class online, but in person is encouraged.

Classes will run the 1st and 3rd Wednesday every month, starting September 18th, 2024

Fall: 7 classes
Course syllabus available upon request.
