Guitar Class | Juilliard Extension

This course explores classical guitar techniques relevant to beginners, advanced players, or students brushing up on previous experience with the guitar, consisting of fundamental right- and left-hand techniques and basic music reading. Part of the class will be devoted to the literature of classical guitar, which we will approach by studying the great performers and composers of the past and present. We will discuss the careers of major players such as Segovia and Bream and their impact on the field. Engaged listening will be encouraged via listening lists and recommended recordings.

For advanced placement, the applicant should be able to play one of the following: An Etude from Carcassi opus 60, an Etude from the Sor/Segovia Etude edition or a Villa-Lobos Prelude.
