Information
The Guitar Gym Seminars
Our teachers are professional musicians with distinguished careers as well as virtuoso players as well as experienced teachers. In each seminar, you will get the chance to see the teachers perform and ask questions after the performance. Unlike some other seminars, the performance is only the beginning. The seminar that follows, be it a one day, two day, or three day event, will be packed with rich teaching content and invaluable advice on all the most important aspects of improving your guitar playing.
The Guitar Gym is working in association with Ken Stevens Music and Digital Village.
  
Miller’s Music Centre and Ken Stevens Music are in central Cambridge. Owned by the original Miller family since 1856 they specialise in everything musical.
We are long term customers of Digital Village and we highly recommend them for all things musical and in particular digital audio workstations and all the associated gear.
