Students learn through Master Classes
Jason Vieaux, who conducted a Master Class shortly after his Sarasota performance on January 20, 2007.
GuitarSarasota invites distinguished teachers of the classical guitar from around the world to teach in an open master class setting. GuitarSarasota normally selects four students to participate in each of these events. The active participants do receive scholarships sponsored by GuitarSarasota. In the past we selected students from Booker High School, Southeast High School, Manatee Community College, Hillsborough Community College, Stetson University, Florida Gulf Coast University and Miami University to participate. Master classes are always open and free to auditors. Seating is limited.
