EDUCATION & OUTREACH
We seek to inspire
Our community musically through partnerships with different organizations in the DC metro area. Together we create accessible music programs and activities. Here are some of our educational programs this coming season:
MASTER CLASS
THE ART OF MUSICMarlow Guitars for Veterans
Back in November 2019 the Marlow Guitar International started a pilot program called Marlow Guitars for Veterans in cooperation with the USO on the campus of the US Naval Hospital/Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda Md. This program is completely free to the Veterans, including a new Córdoba C5 nylon string guitar and case, sheet music, footstool, method book, extra D’Addario strings, electronic tuner and a one hour per week private lesson.
Shortly before the USO closed temporarily due to the COVID-19, MGI and USO agreed to convert lessons to virtual platforms and carry on with lessons.
In mid March, the Board of Directors of the Marlow Guitar International agreed to fund and expand this program.

INTERACTIVE PERFORMANCES
In a new partnership with the Montgomery County Public Libraries, we offer free concert programs that engage audiences through listening and interaction with performers. Designed for all ages and levels of musical familiarity.

SCHOOL VISITS
Young people are inspired by and enthusiastic about our school visits! We bring guest performers to elementary and high schools in Washington DC, Virginia and Maryland, to introduce students to the beauty of classical guitar. Our guest performers have included Marlow Series artists as well as youth guitar ensembles.
