?Degree programs in guitar performance offer a multi-style approach, in which students choose a primary style among classical, jazz, and finger-style guitar. Classes in composition, technology, world music, pedagogy, and repertoire are designed to prepare students for a versatile career in music, one that may include performing, teaching, recording, and music publishing.? Since 2005, UWM?s classical guitar student organization has worked to expose students to leading performers. Each year the group invites? some of the world?s best touring performers to UWM. After each performance, the visiting performer gives a master class. The student organization also annually applies for a grant with the UWM Student Association to send four students to a guitar festival, such as the Indiana Guitar Festival.
