Immerse Yourself in Classical Guitar Mastery
Monday, July 15 to Friday, July 19, 2024
Downtown Campus
The Summer Guitar Intensive is a five-day program that provides classical guitarists of all experience levels the opportunity to study with a world-class faculty at the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University. The curriculum is designed to support serious classical guitar students ages 12 – adult.
Students ages 12 – 18 should submit a playing sample video (not to exceed 10 minutes) ideally with two contrasting styles so the faculty can assess level for ensemble placement. Applications are not complete until students are both registered through the ASAP registration system and playing samples are received.
Adult students (19 and above) do not need to submit a playing sample but should register.
The teen and adult programs will have their own morning schedules (warm up/technique homeroom, chamber music, and master classes) and will be combined for afternoon workshops and guitar orchestra class.
