The Guitar Circle Of Europe

Repertoire & Performance Preparation AAD (At-A-Distance) Course

Friday 1, June – Tuesday 7, August 2012


Directed by Hernan Nunez
Repertoire by Martin De Aguirre & experienced GCE members
Calisthenics & Ear Training by Horacio Pozzo
Themes by Dr.Mike Grenfell

This course is being offered as a preparation towards the GCE/BGE performances next August in Germany and next October in Argentina, and is also open to those who wish to keep learning/practicing and reviewing the current repertoire & calisthenics – ear training exercises, and Dr.Mike’s Themes, regardless of being able to attend the project.

New pieces will be introduced while we review the current repertoire, we’ll also take Ear Training and Calisthenics further, and begin taking a serious look at Fretboard Knowledge.

The course is open to those who have at least attended one Guitar Craft and/or Guitar Circle courses, have an established Morning Sitting Practice and have taken the principles presented seriously. It offers the opportunity to work over an extended period of time, guided by an experienced Team.

Dr.Mike informs:

“Theme work for this AAD will be based around two components. Firstly, for those who wish, we will be setting up an area for working with the Job of the Day exercise. We shall explain what this entails and how we shall organise the work in an invitation soon after the AAD begins. Secondly, we shall work with a series of Themes under the general title of ‘The Circle of Life’. As in other AAD Theme work, this is primarily focused around non-guitar work. However, this time, we shall in particular explore the relations between what we bring to our work on the guitar and how this manifests itself in everyday life. Again, more details to follow once we get going.’
