SUMMER 2025 INTENSIVES
Guitar Mastery Workshop: A Summer Intensive Program, is led by TWO of the world’s leading jazz guitar voices - Kenny Wessel & Bruce Arnold.
Join us for an unforgettable experience at our Guitar Mastery Summer Intensive Workshop, where you will have the opportunity to learn from two world-renowned guitar masters: Kenny Wessel and Nate Radley.
Kenny Wessel, a graduate of Berklee College of Music, has performed and recorded with a wide range of musicians, including Ornette Coleman and Donald Fagen. His teaching style emphasizes creative exploration and expression through the guitar, and he has been a beloved faculty member at the New York Jazz Workshop for many years.
Throughout his impressive body of work over the past 20 years, Bruce Arnold has deftly pulled together a myriad of musical influences ranging from Messiaen, Schoenberg and Webern on the contemporary classical side to Bill Frisell, Pat Metheny and John McLaughlin on the modern jazz guitar side. Furthermore, he has laid out his ideas in clear, concise fashion in the 52 instructional books that he’s written on ear training, theory and technique.
Together, Kenny and Bruce will guide you through a 4-day intensive program that is designed to help you fine-tune your improvisational skills, expand your knowledge of harmony, and improve your technique. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn from special guest, Marc Mommaas, a saxophonist and educator who has taught at prestigious institutions around the world.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced guitarist, this workshop is the perfect opportunity to take your skills to the next level and learn from some of the best in the business. Don’t miss out on this incredible experience!
