MMUS/MA Guitar and Harp

The Guitar and Harp Department at RCS is structured to directly reflect musical realities in the 21^st century. Most successful musicians live varied musical lives; it is our desire to prepare you for the profession, and we feel you must acquire as broad a range of skills as possible in order to become excellent musicians and interesting, expressive artists.Weekly individual, group tuition, chamber music and orchestral performance are a focal point of the newly formed department. Regular collaborations with composers in creating new repertoire; side by side opportunities with all of Scotland’s national orchestras; classes in technique and performance practice, history and repertoire, improvisation, business skills, and techniques of teaching; alongside regular masterclasses with visiting international soloists all are integral to the development of an aspiring and versatile musician.
