Held at Highlands Intermediate School, 2012 was the first Summer School for classical guitar held in New Zealand since the early ’90’s. This Taranaki Classical Guitar Summer School was jam packed with workshops, masterclasses and ensembles designed to improve both guitar playing and appreciation.

Culminating in performance at Pukekura Park Festival of Lights, the 2012 Summer School was a huge success with over 60 participants. This success was felt by all the participants:

“What a fantastic week!! Many thanks again to organisers and participants alike who made this such a great occasion. As a novice I was made to feel most welcome and supported throughout. No one should miss this event in 2014….I certainly wont!!”

“Highly commended. Excellent – warm, fun, clear, organised.”

“…a fantastic professional effort. You ran a fantastic school with warmth and care.”
