NextGen Classical Guitar is a new developmental project of the Muzika u koracima, association, born out of many years of work with children and young people and from the need for a programme that shapes not only technical skill, but also the person behind the instrument.

Through years of implementing educational programmes, including the Music camp , and International Guitar Competition, the value of intensive work, mentorship-based approaches and high professional standards became clear, as well as the need for continuity beyond short-term formats and competitive environments. The experiences gained through these projects raised the question of how to provide young musicians with stable support in the periods between lessons, performances and competitions.

On this foundation, NextGen Classical Guitar is being developed as a programme that connects process-oriented learning, mentorship and long-term development, offering young guitarists a safe and supportive environment in which they can grow without the pressure of constant evaluation.

The project is currently being developed in collaboration with mentors, partners, donors and sponsors, with the aim of creating a framework that provides young guitarists with continuity, security and space for growth, supported by a high level of professional and pedagogical guidance.

NextGen asks the question:
What happens to a young musician when the spotlight fades and formal instruction ends?

It is within this space that the project builds its approach — through mentorship, learning as a process, community, and the long-term development of artistic identity.

If you believe that young musicians should be accompanied, understood and supported — not only evaluated — we invite you to take part in the development of the NextGen Classical Guitar.
