Guitar Group Courses – What To Expect?
Enjoy learning with others
Guitar Group Courses are ideal for someone who enjoys music with others. They are more relaxed than a 1-2-1 Guitar Lesson but by no means a step away from any of the interesting ideas!
These courses are longer than individual lessons lasting about 3 hours / half day. Through the day you can enjoy:
- Group questions and discussions,
- Days focused on specific musical ideas or techniques,
- Student performance classes.
- And of course much more!
And though it is a group session there will also be plenty of individual time and focus dispersed throughout the day.
Between all of this there is of course a break for tea, coffee, biscuits and great conversation with fellow guitarists!
Is The Course Structured?
And how can I best prepare for the day?
Each subject and set of ideas the day is focused around guides the structure. Some days are built around time with your guitar in hand and getting your fingers around the techniques. Others are more discussion based.
Whichever it is, you can be sure the day has had lots of thought and experience go into offering you something special.
Am I Told The Subject In Advance?
What’s on the menu?
Before joining it is always nice to know what the day’s theme is to come prepared. Is this your first time joining? Get in touch and I can let you know all the details you need about the day and how you can get the best out of it.
If you are a regular you will already be kept up-to-date on all the upcoming courses. Plus you can even have a say on what topics you want to have as a future day.
What Your Fellow Guitarists Are Saying
“After years of struggling with the guitar and trying to learn I started lessons with Dylan. In the first few months I learned more than my last few years on the guitar and am now playing pieces I never dreamed would be possible! Every lesson is a joy and I could not recommend him highly enough.”
“Dylan is an exceptional guitar teacher that has been teaching me guitar since I was 10. From classical to jazz and modern pieces, I have learned many renowned pieces of the guitar repertoire, learning not only how to play them but also the proper techniques to adopt fitting styles. Dylan is an awesome teacher: his lessons are one of my favorite moments in the week. Dylan is extremely knowledgeable and experienced as a musician and teacher, making his lessons always deeply interesting; this combined with his enthusiasm, kindness and patience. With him I have greatly progressed in guitar, both in playing and the theory aspect. I highly recommend Dylan to everyone who wishes to progress or start playing guitar!”
“With my guitar gathering dust in the corner of my room I decided to commit to guitar lessons and Asena Guitar Academy came highly recommended. I’m hooked! Dylan’s very encouraging, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He’s worked with some of the most credible guitarist and this versatility shows in his teachings. The one-on-one interaction beats any of the apps I’ve tried with a bespoke lesson structure, which keeps me committed and disciplined. Couldn’t recommend Dylan more highly!!!”
“Mr.Asena is not only a passionate and talented musician/guitarist in his own right, but I have been impressed with how brilliantly he nurtures these qualities in the students he teaches. His passion for inspiring his students has always impressed me and the results were always joy to witness at the concerts he prepared with his students. I would strongly recommend Mr. Asena as a teacher for your child or yourself.”
“I’ve known Dylan for several years, as a fellow musician and teacher. He is a class act, both as a teacher and performer. He is amazingly dedicated to his students, really focused on them and their development. Dylan is also excellent at innovating exciting ways to really engage his students in guitar playing. Highly recommended.”
“I started studying with Dylan Asena after lockdown and wish I had found the Academy a few years ago! Go have a lesson and thank me later.”
“Dylan is incredibly knowledgable and experienced as a professional guitarist and musician, that much is clear: but more than that, he’s an excellent teacher (and having had many a music teacher in the past, that is hard to come by!!) !! He’s patient, kind and instills a confidence in the ability to learn, progress, with solid rationale and technique behind it all – if you’ve never played an instrument before, or have previously tried and struggled (that’s me), Dylan is the man to learn with!”
“Dylan has been teaching my son classical guitar for the past year and has been wonderful at making learning so enjoyable, combining all the necessary technical elements with an absolute pleasure in playing music.”
“I have been taking electric guitar lessons with Dylan for 8 months now and I find Dylan to be an inspirational and engaging tutor. I started as a complete novice, and Dylan has helped build my confidence on the guitar and helped me understand how and why music ‘works’ through a fun learning experience based around the kind of music I like to play and am interested in. Dylan structures the lessons to reflect my pace of learning, and is flexible in fitting in with my timetable. I always look forward to the lessons, and come away having learned something new about the guitar, music, and sometimes even myself! I sincerely recommend him.”
