Private Lesson
For several years now I have thought about how to teach effectively those interested in my music and my approach to guitar playing. What does solo instruction entail?
What I am offering you is an intensive course of instruction based purely on what you are truly interested in learning. Obviously this will not be a beginner course but something for those of you who are interested and involved with my music and my way of playing and have reached a certain level of competence. You do not however have to be a concert player or professional. For me the most important thing is your involvement and interest in my music and compositions and a desire to learn things first-hand from the composer and player. My job will be to answer all of your questions, if possible, about playing, interpretation, and special technics used. Besides studying my compositions, another point of interest could be learning more about how to arrange music you like for solo guitar as well as some possible insight into composing your own music. Learning some tricks and musical psychology about performing in public is also possible topics. It will be your free choice with no competition from other participants as in a workshop atmosphere or listening to topics that are of no personal interest.
Each day would be 4+ hours of study, in 2 blocks, each 2+ hours in length. The first session would be 10-12 in the morning. The second would be from 1:30 - 4:30. If someone is interested in 2 days of instruction overnight accommodation can be arranged here at my home but will be charged extra.
**** As a special bonus I will video important parts of the instruction and make a DVD for your reference and use at home.
I live about a 4 miles from Hameln, Germany, home of the famous Pied Piper. The nearest airport is Hannover with commuter train connections running directly from the airport to town of Bad Münder. I will pick you up at the station.
I will begin taking reservations immediately for Oct - Dec 2010. Lesson days are Mondays through Fridays.
If you are interested and want to know how much a 1 day or 2 day course will cost, then just send me an email for price information to:
