Featured Local Guitarists

I’ve just started featuring local Victoria guitarists on the site. Please enjoy their amazing performances showcasing the great scene in Victoria.

Local Luthiers (Guitar Makers)

I own two main single-luthier made concert level instruments. One is a Douglass Scott Guitar which is a small scale cedar top and the other a Marcus Dominelli Guitar which is a small scale spruce top.

Classical Guitar at the University of Victoria

The university has a music program leading to an undergrad, masters, or doctorate in musical arts. The new professor at UVIC is Simon Farintosh which happens to be a former student of mine gone super pro!

Classical at the Victoria Conservatory of Music 
The Victoria Conservatory of Music (VCM) is home to a wide variety of education programs, events, and more. Although there is no guitar department or head of guitar, the classical guitar faculty are part of a supportive strings department. Post-secondary studies are available with a variety of instructors upon request and in consultation with the post-secondary coordinator. There are also other guitar teachers in the contemporary department for jazz, pop, rock etc (not listed here). All the VCM faculty are available to teach a variety of levels, ages, and styles. Email me for teacher recommendations.
