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.
Designed to educate the total musician, the curriculum combines a focused study of solo repertoire with the opportunity to explore parallel disciplines, perform, and learn from the most important figures in the guitar world.
Upon registration, participants will be placed in a group based on age and experience level. Each group has a designated faculty member who will run the technique and warm up class for the week, and then throughout each day students will participate in lessons, master classes, ensemble rehearsals, and music enrichment studies. Students will participate in small ensembles as well as perform in the Summer Guitar Intensive Orchestra.
