The classical guitar is an intimate and deeply expressive instrument. In its purest form the instrument shines with solo repertoire and there is a wealth of work to choose from. Renaissance masters like Dowland wrote for the lute, as did the mighty J.S. Bach, since then we have arranged this music onto the modern classical guitar. More than these old masters, however, we have a varied and vibrant repertoire for the solo classical guitar that spans centuries and hails from all over the globe.

Several years of using self-help method books, online tutorials and video exchange programs had left me frustrated with what always seemed a piecemeal approach to advancing my guitar studies.  When I discovered the CGC Academy with its expertly structured, grades 1-8 curriculum, a highly responsive and dedicated staff, and a global community of fellow students eager to share the journey, I knew I’d found a new home.  Seven years on and I could not be happier with my decision – coaching calls, performance seminars, member challenges, open mics, summer school, feedback from fellow students and instructors – all have served to take my playing to a level I never thought possible.
