Harry Pellegrin received his training at The Mannes College of Music in New York City, where his studies included theory, composition, ear-training, ensemble performance, keyboard and voice. Studies on his major instrument were conducted with the late Albert Valdes-Blain, renowned classical guitarist and gifted educator, and one-time pupil of the Master -- Andrés Segovia. Harry was also selected by a panel of professors at Mannes to participate in a year-long series of master classes with recording artist and concert guitarist Eliot Fisk.

He is trained in classical guitar and lute and has performed for many years on these instruments. He also has played extensively in popular music in both live performance and in the recording studio.

At his guitar studio in New York City, Harry taught guitar and lute from 1980 until 1993. He is once again offering private and group instruction in Scotia, New York. Harry stresses a well-rounded musical education with an emphasis on the player's adaptability to any artistic situation through a deep knowledge of the mechanics and theory of music.
