Master Classes with Jared Tinkham
& Custom Master Classes
Host a master class with an award-winning pro guitarist and music educator (Director of Guitar Program, Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts).
All of our master classes run approximately 1 hour and feature an infotainment-style lecture (sometimes including audience participation), with opportunities for discussion and Q&A after. Each artist will coordinate with you to make sure that their content will resonate and connect with YOUR audience based on their interests, ages, and skill levels.

- Virtual master classes are sometimes possible if necessary (to be discussed with the artist)
- Once a preferred date is requested below, the artist will coordinate the date and time of the master class with you
- We will also make sure that all of the necessary bases, like like audio/visual equipment, are covered (some of those bases may require additional fees, which will be discussed prior to confirming the booking)
