Guitar

The Guitar Area enjoys a national and international reputation as Australia's leading guitar school.

The Department aims for the highest standards, with the focus primarily on the joy of music-making as well as the acquisition of the skills and knowledge needed to communicate the beauty of music to an audience. To achieve this, the study of a wide range of solo repertoire from the Renaissance to the present day is emphasised in every year of the Bachelor of Music course. 

Students realise the important link between individual practice and public performance through giving regular concerts and performances. Ensemble playing is also an important part of each course, with weekly rehearsals and public performances. 

Successful applicants to the Guitar Area will become part of a lively and creative atmosphere which aims to nurture and develop their musical individuality. At the same time students will learn the highly specialised skills and develop the enduring motivation necessary for long-term success as professional musicians.
