We are happy to announce that the „8th Ruegheimer Weissenborn – and Slide – Workshop“ will take place between the 04.sept – 06. sept. 2020

Our docents for the different player levels will be:
advanced/beginners: Peter Funk (Germany)

http://peterfunk-music.de

advanced/beginners: Fernando Perez (Spain) Guitar & World Music Traditions www.fernandoperezguitar.com

As a professional luthier being specialized on weissenborn guitars i would like to offer you a nice weekend in a very relaxed atmosphere with nice docents to improve your skills as players. And to be able to interchange information with other „aficionados“ of the slide guitar.

As far as we know we offer the only workshop specially dedicated to the weissenborn style instruments.

Our docents are well known players and teachers who are able to improve your technical skills and your musical performance.

Even with no or only little knowledge of how to play this outstanding instrument, this course is perfect for beginners as well. No fear of participating! Because we start exactly where you want us to start.

You will have group lessons with both docents. Out maximum class limit is set up to only 6-7 persons. So the contact to the teacher is very close and intensive. We have 5-6 hours of lessons on saturday and another 3 hours on sunday.

Here are some informations:

Place: Schuettbau Ruegheim: www.schuettbau.de
The Schuettbau is a great place where the participants can have their own rooms and there are many rooms for practicing and lectures.
The first 12 registrations will be accommodated in the Schüttbau itself. The others will be accommodated in hotels and holiday apartments nearby.
There is no shuttle service to the Schüttbau but all participants can be brought from their apartments and hotels to the Schüttbau and back.
