at the

Summer Guitar Conservatory

June 20 - 23, 2022

Registration is now OPEN for the Teacher R&D Workshop at the 2022 Summer Guitar Conservatory.

Teachers will receive State of Texas CPE credits for class sessions provided by Texas Guitar Directors Association.

This year our focus is: "Guitar Ensemble Directing."

Guitar teachers of any age or experience may register.

Teachers should be able to read standard music notation and be familiar with classical guitar ensemble. 

(Loaner instrument and unlimited technique consultation is available, just ask!  No classical guitar experience required.)

The Teacher R & D Workshop is an opportunity for guitar teachers to meet together, play through ensemble repertoire, discuss and practice conducting techniques and to learn from each other.  The workshop will draw on the GuitarCurriculum.com repertoire and teaching approaches, as well as from other sources.

Registration is free.  There is a suggested donation of $20 per day.   For CPE credit, teachers need to join or renew their membership with the Texas Guitar Directors Association.
