Chris and I will be giving a Classical Guitar Course this summer at the Chanterelle Music Centre, France. Set in beautiful countryside, Chanterelle is in the Poitou Charente in Southwest France. It is in two small farms (fermettes) that have been joined together to create space for music making.

THE COURSE
This small and exclusive course runs from the 23 – 29 August 2009 and gives participants opportunity for intensive study with the Duo.

Participants can attend as soloists, or ensemble players and the daily timetable will include:
* solo and small ensemble coaching sessions
* technical workshops
* warm-ups and finger aerobics
* daily guitar orchestra rehearsals

You can also take a look at the brochure for full details by downloading it here.

COURSE FEES
The cost for the course is £400 to include tuition, breakfast, lunch and a three course evening meal, with tea and coffee served throughout the day. Food is locally sourced and supplemented by vegetables, fruit and eggs from Chanterelle’s own gardens.

ACCOMMODATION
Accommodation can be provided on site in one of the comfortable bedrooms or in local gites or bed and breakfast. Daily transport can be provided for those staying nearby.
Accommodation costs start at £10 per night, but prices differ due to the varied nature of the rooms at Chanterelle.
