THIS IS NO ORDINARY SCHOOL
We believe that every musician must find their own balance, learning to become their own teacher: understanding when it is time to progress independently and when it is valuable to seek guidance.
For this reason, Franco Morone leads his students on an individual, tailored path, filling technical and harmonic gaps in a serene environment, far from rigid structures and rooted in shared passion.
Choosing Acoustic Guitar Workshops means entering our farmhouse in the Marche region to dedicate precious time to your personal growth, under the guidance of a master who believes in accessible yet profound music—in a learning journey built together, step by step, between teacher and student.
We have structured our teaching paths to guide you step by step. Explore our three orientative PROGRAMS: they offer a flexible foundation to build, together with the Master, a fully personalized study path that perfectly adapts to your technical needs and current guitar experience.
In-person courses from 1 to 4 days. Possibility to extend the duration according to your needs.
Tailor-made program, agreed with the instructor Franco Morone based on your experience level.
Small group courses: a maximum of two participants or one participant with a companion.
OUR RETREAT: LIVING IN THE COUNTRY-HOUSE
Our commitment does not end with the lessons.
For us, the student is a guest in every sense: from the meals we personally prepare, to the freedom to play at any hour, and the opportunity to discover the surrounding area.
The farmhouse is the setting for time dedicated entirely to you, where music intertwines with the pleasure of well-being, amidst the view of our hills and the warmth of a veranda where our days come to a close together, in music.
We believe that music is a right and a joy, not a luxury. For this reason, we have chosen to keep our proposal accessible to anyone who truly wishes to grow. We are not looking for exorbitant profits, but for the possibility of sharing the value of this instrument and our retreat in the Marche region with those who are truly committed to the journey, creating an environment where time, hospitality, and high-level musical training become a shared resource.
To keep up with the times and offer every guitarist increasingly agile, effective, and immediate support, we have chosen to reorganize our teaching and musical offerings.
All of Franco Morone’s fingerstyle guitar books, in addition to being offered in paper version, are also available in download version via eBook (PDF) for those who study on the go. Both versions and the related audio files (Mp3) are available within the [Music-Store Books & Audio] section.
We have chosen to move beyond physical media (CDs), focusing exclusively on high-quality [Digital Albums] with beautiful PDF booklets included. In the same section, you will also find [Video Tutorial]—zero shipping time, maximum compatibility with all devices, and Franco’s music in your hands immediately.
We combine the tradition of paper with the speed of digital to support your passion for the guitar.
