Looking to the Future.
Life in Cornwall is looking good. Since the relaxing of Covid regulations we now have several visiting guitar students as well as our Online teaching. Our future intention is to expand availability for both in person and online students as we feel this allows us to reach a wider group of people.
If you live too far from Cornwall to make travelling for lessons a sensible option or you do not live in the UK then partaking in lessons over Zoom allows you to take advantage of a quality of teaching that may not previously been open to you.
SGO – “Stafford Guitar Online” is growing in popularity. SGO is our online meeting place helping you to move forward with your guitar studies and to enjoy the experience of meeting others. Check out the link above.
We are currently working towards our October weekend guitar course and are so looking forward to meeting everyone in person.
There are currently 2 remaining places available for October, if you have a mind to re-join our musical World and enjoy a weekend away visit our Guitar Courses page and sign up for October.
For those looking forward to next year we now have dates for 2022 guitar courses.
