Workshop I: Latin Rhythms and the Classical Guitar

w/ Andrés Palacios

This workshop blends the development of technical precision on the guitar with the expressive pulse of Latin music, helping participants develop rhythmic fluency, articulation, and musicality. Through hands-on practice, you’ll explore essential rhythms and learn how to integrate them into your classical guitar playing. Perfect for musicians looking to deepen their understanding and bring new energy to their technique!

Workshop II: Playing Smarter, Not Harder: Proprioception in Guitar Technique

w/ Dr. Zachary Grim

Many guitarists struggle with technical challenges due to underdeveloped kinesthetic awareness. This workshop explores practical, anatomically informed strategies to improve technique and problem-solving. We’ll cover playing position, left-hand shifts, slurs, dynamics, and more. Through targeted exercises, participants will develop proprioception for greater control and efficiency. Perfect for guitarists of all levels!
