When I would take music lessons, or take my nephews for lessons, at John's Hopkins Peabody Institutes' Adult and Prep Programs on Saturdays, it would be absolutely amazing to hear the Flamenco music students play as we passed the classrooms.  Peabody is a minor step down from Julliard and parents drive kids from as far away as upstate New York, southern Virginia, etc. on Saturday's to Baltimore to get lessons from a faculty that wins a couple Grammy Awards for classical and jazz music every few years.

So the level of students is fantastic.  As you pass the guitar, voice, piano, violin, etc. studios the quality you hear is incredible.

I may study Flamenco guitar there, though violin/fiddle will probably come next after piano. I ask the Peabody Adult guitar faculty if the classical guitar I have is good enough to take lessons there and they said it's fine.  It's a beginner guitar, a Yamaha G-231 classical guitar, but was made back in the days when beginner guitars were still made with solid spruce backs, etc. and sounds pretty good. At my local Guitar Center, you have to go up to about $800-$1200 to find better sounding classical guitars. I originally got it cheap on eBay because I wasn't playing guitar often enough and the nylon strings were easier on my fingers than the steel strings on my other guitars.

It has a nice, mellow tone.

Petrit Seku studied guitar at Peabody, though he was a regular Conservatory Student, not an Adult Program student:

Just about anyone can do that.
