Awards Programs Banner.jpg
Far too often, students will spend weeks, months, and even years toiling through learning, lessons and practice, but without ever feeling the pride of success.
​
That pride comes from reaching and exceeding your goals, and the aim of our recognition programs is to provide the objective benchmarks, acknowledgement, respect and rewards for your hard work!
​
The SDML Academy of Guitar has three primary recognition programs: The SAGE Awards, Synthesis Certification, and the ICAT Program. Click on the programs below to learn more, and then contact an instructor to plan your pathway!
