The Guitar and Keyboard Collective is designed to give serious-minded students hands-on experience with musical styles and performance techniques in a rhythm section setting. The curriculum focuses on the all-important rhythm section role of these instruments. Guitar and keyboard students may take a full range of courses from part-time weekly or bi-weekly private lessons on their instrument, to 2-year comprehensive full-time certificate programs. Short and long-term programs can be arranged to suit individual schedule needs and financial circumstances. Faculty availability is subject to touring and recording schedules.
