Learning classical guitar as a music major

Hi, I have been playing guitar for about 7 years, though I am not classically trained. I have become interested in pursuing a degree in music, using guitar as my major instrument. Right now I am at community college, with a goal of transferring to university next fall. I was wondering if you think it is realistic that I could pick up classical guitar now (with lessons) and be able to pass an audition next year. Thank you.

Hi Lucas,

I'd imagine it depends on the level of requirement from the audition. Perhaps you could go and see someone in the community college itself that is connected with that course and have a "pre-audition audition", as it were, to find out where you stand.

At least doing it this way you know you're either ready now or you have to go away and develop a little more.

I hope this has been of help.

Kind regards,
Trevor M.
