CLASSICAL GUITAR INSTRUCTION |
| Michael E. Marks Classical Guitarist and Teacher |
| The Classical Guitar has been described as an entire orchestra combined in one instrument. This is because not only does the listener hear melody and accompaniment together, but an enchanting variety of tonal qualities interwoven to produce a total sound that has captivated audiences for centuries. |

The classical programme is an on-going series of classes corresponding to the Royal Schools of Music syllabus with its 8 student grade levels.

Students may follow this course just for personal development and pleasure (without taking exams) Sche dule:Approx. Course Length - 8 months per level Fee - $30 per hr.
