Intermediate Guitar

​

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The purpose of the summer Intensive Course (SIC) is to give intermediate guitar players the opportunity to make significant improvements in their technical abilities, increase performance confidence, and enjoy the learning process. Students will take one private lesson per week, one class per week, have access to three studio hours per week, participate in one performance workshop and conclude the course with a recital on August 7th. Collaboration with instructors and other students is highly encouraged but not required. Participants will be asked to identify their musical motivations and create goals that they would like to accomplish by the end of the course as well as long term. Students should expect to spend 6-10 hours a week dedicated to learning and practicing music. 

 

REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICIPATION

Participants should be at an intermediate level of acoustic or electric guitar playing. This means that they can change smoothly between fundamental open chords, be able to keep time with a metronome or other instruments, be able to play single note melodies, and have the ability to play through multiple songs by memory. If you are unsure of your skill level please do not hesitate to reach out to contact@Lydianmusicstudis.com for assistance.
