The University of New Mexico's Guitar Program focuses mainly on classical guitar training, though we encourage students to explore various musical styles beyond classical. However, we emphasize mastering fundamental classical techniques first: developing tone quality, arrangement skills, expressive playing, and comprehending classical music's harmonic structures and forms. These core competencies prepare students for diverse musical paths, whether as contemporary guitarists, composers, vocalists, or performers in genres ranging from folk to heavy metal.
