Guitar Ensemble

Guitar Ensemble (Year Long)

Guitar Ensemble is designed especially for those students who have developed a serious posture toward the subject matter and have completed a course in Beginning guitar and/or have been recommended by the instructor.  The course may be continued with the proviso that the student attempts progression of advanced literature each ensuing year.  The guitar ensemble performs intermediate to advanced levels of literature from various genres of music, ranging from the Renaissance, Baroque, and classical to commercial and contemporary music.  Students should have an understanding of classical guitar technique and various other styles of playing the guitar, rehearsal and performance techniques, theory and history of selected repertoire. Due to the performance nature of this course, participation in rehearsals and performances during and after the regular school day is expected. This course meets the University of California Visual & Performing Arts “f” requirement.
