Participants’ Experiences
Read what past participants say about their time at the Italian Guitar Camp:

Roxy Kraber, Italian Guitar Camp 2023:
My experience at the guitar camp was amazing! Getting to spend quality time and learning from my favorite classical guitarist was an incredible opportunity that I would recommend to anyone remotely interested in classical guitar. I will never forget the week I spent in Lamezia with great food, new friends, and beautiful music.

Eugen Wiebe, Italian Guitar Camp 2024:
At the beginning of the week I said: “Dear friends, I speak English not very well and play guitar even worse. What am I doing here?” The answer came: during these days I improved my English, learned many words and feelings — like “stage fright”. It was a very valuable experience. Musically I learned a lot. The second best thing this week was our group. You were simply great. The best of course was Tatyana — and without Evgeni the whole thing would be unthinkable. Thank you all! It was the best week in a long time. I’m on an emotional high.

Bart Versteeg, Italian Guitar Camp 2024:
I had a marvelous week. Tatyana is not only an excellent performer, but also a great teacher and a wonderful person. My biggest highlight was the lesson with her — in one hour she taught me so much about making music and emotion. The garden of Casa Gemma is the most beautiful practice spot I’ve ever seen. I’ll definitely return next year!

Jeff Mead, Italian Guitar Camp 2024:
I was moved watching Tatyana help different people. She finds analogies away from the guitar that suddenly make things click. She calms you down during stressful playing moments — no pressure, only support. I also met wonderful new friends. I came alone but left with ten! It was an unforgettable week.
