The YSU guitar studies program is open to classical and jazz guitar students. You’ll study with faculty dedicated to helping you achieve your personal best and work with peers equally passionate about collaboration, innovation, and excellence in performance.

Guitar students receive one private lesson per week and also have the opportunity to take part in group settings, including classical guitar quartet, chamber music with classical guitar (e.g., guitar with voice, flute, violin), jazz combos, jazz ensemble, and jazz guitar duo.

Whether you’re pursuing an undergraduate or advanced degree in guitar at DSM, you’ll be equipped with the skills necessary to succeed as a performer, educator, composer, sound and recording engineer, and numerous other areas in which to position yourself for the countless opportunities in our communities, schools, and today’s creative industries.
