Starobin, Vieaux to Head New Guitar Dept. at Curtis
Two superb American guitarists, David Starobin and Jason Vieaux, will be heading up the new classical guitar program at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. Says Mr. Starobin:
“The inauguration of the Curtis Institute’s guitar program is a milestone in the instrument’s history. With its inclusion at Curtis, arguably the world’s finest music conservatory, the guitar and its repertoire continue their steady ascent toward equal standing among the instruments and music of the great classical tradition. I am honored to join my colleague Jason Vieaux at this important moment in the guitar’s development.”
Good news!

I’ve been noticing some good, free, online video guitar lessons. I’m starting to gather them onto a new webpage which I’ve creatively entitled Online Guitar Lessons. I’ll be adding new ones as time goes on.
