GuitarCurriculum.com National Teacher Summit
July 18 – 20, 2019 in Austin, Texas
We’re thrilled to announce this year’s National Teacher Summit will take place at the Hilton Garden Inn on 5th Street, right in the heart of downtown Austin!
We’ll be walking distance to music venues, restaurants, bars, and historic landmarks. Your three days with friends and colleagues will connect you with the latest developments in class guitar leadership, new music, new ideas, and a ton of super positive, restorative, encouraging energy and inspiration.
We’ll play, we’ll conduct, we’ll learn, and we’ll share. New ensemble and solo literature will be revealed, we’ll see the latest video teaching resources, and tour a groundbreaking new braille resource for blind and visually impaired students. In the evenings the city of Austin awaits, we’ll have special gatherings at the Hilton’s breathtaking 18th floor restaurant and bar, and Saturday night we all have tickets to see the stunning and impeccable Beijing Guitar Duo.
Our goal? That you leave fired up to make music with your students, and fully loaded with the materials, techniques, and support network you need for the best year ever.
