Hi folks, I’ve been so excited to let you know about this project - it’s been a long time in the making. Tuition in its many forms is one of my favourite parts of this job. Over the years I’ve been giving tutorials, masterclasses and workshops I’ve built up quite the collection of materials and experiences I wanted to share. This project - THE COLLEGE - is the culmination of years of thought about how I can best provide these things to guitarists wherever they are around the world.

But not only that, I wanted to collaborate with the inspirational people I’ve met along the way so they can share their own unique view points with you.

Early-bird offer: enrol between now and 01/07/20 and get one month added to your subscription for free.

The other piece of news is that I'm launching my new Guitar Workshop Library, Series 1 today! I’ve been preparing this project for the last 6 weeks and I’m delighted to say that it is now finished! So, today, Tuesday 21st July, my “Guitar Workshop Library - Series 1” goes LIVE!

On Thursday from 8pm (UK time) I'll be presenting my weekly Jazz & Blues Show on Bromyard FM.

It will be a two hour show where I'll be playing some of my favourite Jazz & Blues recordings from the early 20th century to the present day.

You can tune in live at www.bromyardfm.uk

Here's the Bromyard FM Facebook group too…

Really amazing to get the sense of resilience, courage and tenacity coming from people’s responses to this quarantine. Are you needing some peace, connection and clarity? I’m hosting a weekly ZOOM call; as a place for us to reconnect to self, others and our aliveness. To gather, slow down, and really listen to each other. I’ll sing a song to start us off, and offer some prompts (questions to get us thinking). Then we’ll breakout in to threes to listen to what is coming up for each of us. No charge, this is a gift. This is a chance to hear what we need to hear, in our selves. Every Tuesday at 3pm EST, 8pm UK/Ireland time, and will be meeting each week, same time same place; in this ZOOM room: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/3194180992

Bruce Victor is an “old” friend and customer, he is a physician based in San Francisco, and has an ever changing stable of Fylde instruments. With his musical partner Maria Fabish, he is producing a number of “daily serenades’via Facebook Live

Seeing as how we are all stuck inside, we thought it might be fun to provide a short daily serenade, in place, of course, from our living room, over the interwebs to your device of choice!

We are doing this via Facebook Live, every day for the foreseeable future, at 12:30PM Pacific Daylight Time. Tune in by 'liking' the Noctambule Facebook Page, and heading there at the appointed time, where the Live event will magically pop up. Join us - you can heckle us, blow us kisses and make requests through the chat window, and talk to each other as well, all completely germ free!

If you're not free at that time, you can catch the replays - they are all there on the page. For those of you who eschew Facebook, we will be starting to archive them on our YouTube Channel in the next few days. We also put together a little Journey in Place on SoundCloud for your listening pleasure. Marla & Bruce

Perhaps you might want to take advantage of this quiet time to get some top class tuition- one to one?
