I am delighted to announce that, following the award of a grant from the Benton County Cultural Coalition (thank you BCCC!), the Guitar Society is in the process of planning a Guitar Festival in Corvallis which is scheduled to take place on Friday 9^th and Saturday 10^th June 2017. Please mark your calendars! The Festival will comprise two concerts, a Masterclass with our internationally acclaimed headline concert artist (who we hope to announce soon), and guitar workshops. More information will follow as we nail down the details so please watch this space and please tell your friends.

Based in Corvallis, Oregon, Jon Sharp is a classical guitarist teaching and performing in the Willamette Valley area. He holds a Masters Degree in Music from San Jose State University, is President of the Corvallis Guitar Society, and sells Córdoba classical guitars out of his studio in downtown Corvallis.

Jon has been teaching classical guitar for a number of years and will tailor classical guitar instruction to your needs. Students can expect a structured approach to their lessons with time allocated to technique building, developing repertoire, reading music and the fundamentals of music theory.
