Guitar Workshop
July 12 @ 10:00 am - 2:30 pm CDT

Calling all guitarists! Merit’s Guitar Workshop gives young guitarists the chance to hone their skills and explore musical styles (from classical and jazz works, to pop and classic rock tunes) in a fun and supportive environment. Students will have the opportunity to meet other young guitarists from across Chicagoland, while working with special guest artists.
This workshop is best for students who have studied guitar for a minimum of 2 years (at Merit or elsewhere). No teacher recommendation or placement audition required!
