Experience reports:

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:

In the beginning of the week I greeted you with the words: “Dear friends, I speak English not very well and I can play the guitar even worse. The answer to the question: what am I doing here, I’m trying to find out these days.” And here is the answer: during these days I improved my spoken English, learned many words, for example “expectations” – I had none, but I got a lot. And I learned to feel some words: “stage fright”. It was a very valuable experience.  Of course, I also learned a lot musically. The second best thing this week was our group. You were simply great.  And the best of course was Tatyana and without Evgeni the whole thing would simply be unthinkable. I Thank you all, thank you Evgeni, thank you Tatyana! 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. I didn’t think I could learn so much about guitar in one week, because I learned that Tatyana is not only an excellent performer, but she’s also a great teacher and a very nice person to deal with. In this week my biggest highlight was the lesson that I had with Tatyana. In one hour she taught me so much about music and how to make music and how to put emotion in music that I have enough to work on for the next month. The garden of Casa Gemma is the most beautiful practice spot I ever saw for a guitar player. The team that works here, the people that work here, the family that works here, they are so nice and they took so good care of us, and it is really just outstanding. What I will take with me is that I want to have more lessons from Tatyana. I want to return to the guitar camp next year. And I will certainly remember that you have to make music the way you feel it.

Jeff Mead, Italian Guitar Camp 2024:

I actually became teared times watching Tatyna help different people. She’s so good at coming up with an analogy or a concept that’s kind of away from guitar to help them with the guitar. And you can see the light in their eyes. I mean, you can see how it helped them to get through it. And she’s able to calm you down, when you have a stressful playing moment. There’s no pressure.  So, it was good to see how well she could work with everybody. I will also remember being able to meet with different people. I’ve traveled alone a lot, and it gets lonely. And I came here alone, but I feel like I’ve made like 10 friends, and I think some of those friendships should carry on. And I really enjoyed meeting other people and getting to know other people.
