Adult Guitar Ensembles


Guitar Ensemble I
John Wiesenthal, Director
Tuesdays, 8:00-9:00 pm
Ages 18+, Beginning-Continuing level

Bringing together guitarists who want to build reading and performance skills, this ensemble explores Renaissance, Baroque, classical, and contemporary music. Fresh arrangements and transcriptions are regularly developed for the group, and parts are graded so that new members can join without feeling they've missed the boat. Participants need to read beyond the basic “hunt and pluck,” and must have a classical, nylon string guitar.

A placement assessment is required to join the ensemble.

FEE for Guitar Ensemble I: $20 registration fee; $648* yearly tuition payable in quarterly installments of $162 each. For students enrolled in individual lessons at Hochstein, yearly tuition is $540 payable in quarterly installments of $135. (Fee as of Fall 2023.)

John Wiesenthal, Director
Mondays, 7:30-9:00 pm

This ensemble covers repertoire ranging from Bach to bossa nova, bop to pop, and arrangements and originals and many playing styles are explored. There’s something for everyone! New pieces are introduced regularly as we work to refine and build our repertoire.

A placement assessment is required to join the ensemble.

FEE for Intermediate Adult Guitar Ensemble: $20 registration fee; $972* yearly tuition payable in quarterly installments of $243 each. For students enrolled in individual lessons at Hochstein, yearly tuition is $810 payable in quarterly installments of $202.50. (Fee as of Fall 2023.)
