“Guitar Craft is a way of developing a relationship with the guitar, with music, and with ourselves.”
This course is open to anyone, including those without any prior experience on the guitar. For those who wish to make a Beginning in the Guitar Circle, this course will be an Introduction to Guitar Craft, where the Guitar Craft Tuning as well as a number of basic guitar practices, techniques and principles will be presented.
This course also welcomes those who are Continuing - who have had some experience with our work and wish to deepen their practice, including those who attended our course at Camp Caravan last August. More advanced practices and techniques, along with work in the House and work in the Kitchen, will be part of the course for these participants.
Erin Wigger (AmSAT certified AT teacher) will introduce the Alexander Technique.
