Acoustic Guitar Workshops
Poggio agli Ulivi country house
Acoustic guitar courses in Osimo can host up to a limit of six participants. The first thing we would like to achieve is the effective growth of each student, in pursuing the goal of improving technique and musicality. Undoubtedly, this is our primary purpose. With these premises we try to make sure that every student can experience a good practice of study, fundamental point to make everyone feeling at ease with us. To this end, the courses are organized with individual lessons, starting from the state of experience and aspirations of each participant, combined with group lessons especially designed to fill any gaps in instrumental practice and theoretical knowledge. In this regard Franco has prepared a booklet containing some essential guidelines. We also felt we could do something else. To facilitate the progression of learning even after the course, Franco will take care to choose additional free study material, tunes etc., in relation to the work done and certainly to the personal musical tastes of each student, with the ambition of increase the enthusiasm and return to follow our courses in complete freedom, with perhaps higher goals and new achievements in the beautiful world of fingerstyle with Franco Morone!
The next course: from August 27 to September 1, 2018

Dulcamara, Ozzano Emilia (Bo)
The first steps of fingerstyle in Italy
At the beginning Franco started to organize his acoustic guitar courses in a place called ‘Dulcamara’.
That was happening from 1991 to 2001.
“The summer acoustic guitar courses started near Bologna in a vegetarian farmhouse called Dulcamara, a place surrounded by the gullys. These first fingerstyle guitar workshops in Italy began as real laboratories to change the way of studying guitar. The didactic paths were new and referred to what we all felt as a new repertoire for the acoustic guitar. A lot of enthusiasm was spreading between students for the different ways of transmitting and teaching this ‘new’ music. Dulcamara’s first ten years have been an unique experience very useful to identify new topics and teaching methods necessary for the growth in playing of individual and group sessions of students. In a few days they could gather material enough and useful experiences for a year of study and, beyond that, … everybody could recharge at most the batteries of mutual passion!” Franco
