Meet my Farlington Guitar Workshop

I've told you how much fun there is in Ensemble Guitar Playing. How do I know?
Here's my proof! This photo was taken at one of our Workshops

Workshop guitarists

My Guitar Workshop began in 1988 as a natural accompaniment (pardon the pun!) to structured Classical lessons.

We have one aim - to play Guitar for the sheer enjoyment of playing. We meet once a fortnight and play about two informal concerts a year.

Except before a Concert, we don't need to practise Workshop music much at home - home time is for solos.

Workshop thrives partly because our music is ideal for sightreading, and partly because sightreading helps players develop. Most pieces have parts that present challenges at a variety of levels. As players progress they can choose more complex lines, or play in higher positions.
