Level 4 This is the top level of guitar classes we offer for those who have already completed levels 1, 2, and 3. In Level 4 we will ensure that all students master all the techniques covered in previous courses and we will work on more advanced repertoire. After this course, students will be invited to join a performance ensemble to continue learning by exploring new repertoire.
