Classical Guitarist
Prior to Covid-19 lockdown, I organised workshops several times a year and they took place in Dorking, Surrey. However, since March 2020, the workshops have become much more frequent and have been held over Zoom. They’re always enjoyable, worthwhile and a good source of inspiration!
It took a little getting used to at first, meeting over the computer screen, but the workshops proved such a success I ended up hosting more than usual! Practising in isolation doesn’t always yield the best results and whilst performing in front of the computer can seem odd, everyone enjoys hearing new repertoire, hearing how others have developed and sharing thoughts or ideas.
Beginners and advanced post grade 8 players all welcome. I tailor-make each workshop to ensure that everyone is comfortable, happy and challenged. Typically, if you attend several workshops a year, you will experience an opportunity to hear and play solos, increase your musical knowledge and meet like-minded souls. Occasionally, I invite a guest speakers to join us.
“The concert and workshop were both brilliant.”
“I really enjoyed your workshop for the Banbury guitar society, especially your helpful comments on the solos played, and of course, the ensemble piece.”
“We became immediately aware that Fiona has a superb quality of tone and musical phrasing. This was also apparent in our workshop … where she focussed on phrasing in the finest of details.”
“Thanks for yet another enjoyable and inspiring workshop!
Putting us through our paces with singing and ensemble pieces, encouraging our listening skills with comparative listening and finally giving us a chance to perform solos in front of a friendly audience! Thank you for your time and encouragement, we are all the better players for it”
