    By popular demand, the Classical Minds Guitar Institute and Competition is pleased to offer a week of intensive study of the classical guitar. Under the leadership of faculty members Frank Koonce, Randall Avers, Benoit Albert, Enric and Sabine Madriguera, Patrick Lui, Mary Akerman, Anthony Glise, Fernand Vera, Olga Amelkina-Vera, Marc Garvin, and Valerie Hartzell, participants will explore a rich area of repertoire with private lessons, master classes and Guitar Orchestra.

    For tuition information, please print the application located here. We have created different package deals to meet as many needs as possible. Competitors can choose this year to either participate in just the competition or in both the festival AND competition. Competitors must submit a competition form and/or the festival form.

    The goal of this festival is to increase each student's sight-reading abilities, gain ensemble experience through the Guitar Orchestra Class and of course, reach individual goals through the private lessons and/or master classes.

    Competition: June 18-20, 2010 This Competition is open to legal U. S. residents only. Prizes are subject to change!

    Prizes:
    Division 1:
    $800 First Prize - An Aquiles Torres guitar worth $4000
    $400 Second Prize
    $250 Third Prize

    Division 2:

    $300 Second Prize

    Anyone interested in participating in master classes must receive approval by sending either a tape or cd with at least 10 minutes of music (both soloists and guitar ensembles are welcome). We encourage intermediate and advanced students to participate. Master classes will be given by Randall Avers, Mary Akerman, and Frank Koonce.

    Beginners are encouraged to attend the master classes. Students should arrive in June prepared with music scores for their master classes.

    For more information, please contact Valerie Hartzell at (281) 395-9066 or email her at valeriehartzell@consolidated.net.
