Overview

The Guitar program at University of Hartford is a highly-developed performance-based program. We look for and accept students with well-developed technical, musical, interpretative, and practice skills, who show a commitment to high performance standards and a desire to pursue either a college teaching/performing career or a solo/chamber music career.

Thirty minutes of solo repertoire played from memory is required. While we occasionally accept students who do not possess the following repertoire, it is more an exception than the norm.

A major Baroque Suite. J.S. Bach and S.L. Weiss are the most frequently performed composers.

A major 20th-century work. Composers frequently represented include: Brouwer, Martin, Britten, Dodgson, etc.

A major work by one of the following: Sor, Giulliani, Coste, Mertz, Regondi or any Spanish or Latin American composer.
