Advanced Classical Guitar Lessons
Advanced classical guitar lessons are ideal for professional musicians who have been studying guitar for six years or more, have thoroughly studied musical theory and essential musical terminology, and who are able to sight-read fluently and have a vast repertory that includes pieces from different epochs and styles. This program is designed to expand the knowledge you have gained in previous years of study.
Expand your concert repertoire and push your technique and abilities to the limit. The lessons are also suitable for those students who want to enter higher music education institutions or participate in music competitions and festivals.
Please note that studying with a teacher is important in the formation of a musician’s performance skills. Self-study does not give you a real assessment and evaluation of your performance level, which often leads to failures and mistakes such as the wrong choice of a musical piece.
Edora MS recommends that advanced guitar players take lessons with a teacher at least two times a week.
Advanced classical guitar lessons at Edora MS cover the following topics:
- Training highly skilled guitar players and helping them in the development of their guitar sound and performance style. In-depth knowledge of the essential theoretical and practical backgrounds of musical styles of different epochs: baroque, classical, romantic, avant-garde, and modern. This also covers the psychological and practical aspects of musical interpretation. Learn how to write down fingering when it's not provided on the sheet music as well as perform analysis of musical form and musical structure.
- Coordination exercises, right and left-hand speed development, exploring the timbral palette of the guitar, virtuosity and advanced techniques. Mastering performance skills, and learning specific guitar playing techniques such as tremolo, rasgueado (rasgueo), vibrato, pizzicato, etc.
- Musical ensemble experience: guitar duet, trio, quartet, or guitar with various instruments. How to achieve the desired balance between guitar and other string, wind, or keyboard instruments. Creating a joint ensemble sound and developing the ability to communicate in the space of musical interaction.
- How to prepare for a concert, overcome stage fright, and interact with audiences. Build a balanced concert repertoire and concert programs.
- We also prepare teachers to teach classical guitar learners.
Edora MS is a classically oriented school where the education is organized using modern computer technologies. We provide our students with an opportunity to learn musical instruments with a personal teacher online through Skype.
According to recent research, the effectiveness of education under a teacher’s supervision is 70% higher compared to self-study by online music courses and various YouTube lessons. However, you can learn a musical instrument on your own, but it would not be worth it. This is because most times, to learn on your own a piece of music effectively takes a few months. During this period probably, you would lose motivation and confidence in yourself. In other words, various online music courses & tutorials that are promoted on the Internet, despite the growing popularity, will not replace the live communication with the teacher, and would not give you the desired rapid progress. You might even stop playing guitar and lose all interest in studying.
