Classical with David Russell and Rafael Aguirre

“Some people are self taught, others start with teachers from a very early age, some come to the guitar much later in their lives, others migrate to classical guitar from other styles.

Having a teacher can save a lot of heartache and many wasted hours of practice. I feel it is necessary at least during a large portion on one’s apprenticeship to have a regular teacher. Moreover, the benefit of masterclasses and workshops can be an enormous compliment to one’s regular study. I feel that my purpose in working with students is to inspire them and hopefully compliment their regular studies. Often a new point of view can bring excitement and new life to those hours of practice that we all need to be able to improve. My own personal experience was that I learnt an enormous amount in masterclasses and in courses that I attended as a young player. For this reason, I value this form of study. Everybody is welcome on this course and we hope to have a good guitar time together.”
