Week 1 |
| July 11-16, 2010 |
| Tuition: $435 |
Augusta’s
Guitar Week brings together a wonderful roster guitarists who
are also master musicians and teachers. Mary
Flower [left], Guitar
Week Coordinator, has brought these luminaries together to share their skills
with guitarists of many styles. Instructors for Guitar week include: Pat
Donohue [right], Stephen
Bennett, Ernie Hawkins,
and Mary Flower.
PLEASE
NOTE: All
Guitar Week classes require that students have
some basic guitar skills in any style. Intermediate
and advanced classes require that students
be able to play some tunes at moderate speeds.
Guitar
students will work with one instructor all
morning. Each
afternoon, all of the guitar classes meet together
for an hour of performances, special presentations
by the staff, and guest presentations. Afterwards,
students may choose from a wide variety of
afternoon workshops. Evenings
are filled with jamming, concerts, dances,
and parties. The
week ends on Friday afternoon with a Student
Showcase, when each class performs for the
group.
To
register, specify “Guitar Week,” instructor,
and your instrument level.

on the Arts, a state agency; and The
