With a long tradition, the guitar has established itself as one of the heavyweights. Transcending cultural boundaries, it plays a major role across a stunning range of genres including rock, country, pop, jazz, blues, classical, flamenco, and many folk traditions, to name a few.

Studying guitar develops complex coordination, and offers exposure to complex musical concepts not available to students of many other instruments. It can feature as a solo, accompanying, or ensemble instrument; it’s range and versatility make it a great choice whether you want to master the art form or simply play a few of your favourite songs around the campfire.

The bassist provides the rhythmic (pulse), and the harmonic foundations in a musical group. He or she establishes the foundational notes upon which the other musicians build while linking to the distinctive rhythm of the music. The bassist creates the feel and propels the music. Mistakes from the lead guitar may go unnoticed, but when the bass player makes a mistake, you can feel that something is wrong. As the bass player, you are the most important member of your band!

Participation in the Royal Conservatory Exams is available for our guitar students as well.
