and is encouraged for all beginning and intermediate sitar
players. Class meets every Thursday from 10:00 – 11:00 am.

REVIEW CLASSES: the main purpose is to cover material
taught in the master classes. They give students a chance
to slowly work out lines and to ask more questions. The review
classes also go over exercises and technique useful to any
level student.
Private Lessons by guest artists and the College's
assistant teachers are also available throughout the session
and are scheduled and paid for in the College office. These
lessons are held at the College and must be arranged in advance
with an office administrator and instructor so that a classroom
can be reserved for the lesson. The cost for each one-hour
lesson is $45.
Mentor Program provides students with close personal
attention from the college’s assistant faculty. The student
will receive two private one-hour lessons per session in which
the mentor will answer any questions the student might have,
provide feedback on technique, and focus on strengthening
the student’s musicianship skills. A small registration fee
of $45 will be charged for this program.
** Please be sure that you sign up for any Special Classes
at the time of registration on the first day of the Session.
Some classes require a minimum number of students in order
to be presented.
