In the Circle: A Guitar Workshop facilitated by David Frome

Guitarists of all levels are welcome!

As guitarists, we often practice as individuals without much external feedback. This workshop is a unique opportunity to introduce yourself, share your musical goals, connect with fellow players, and build collaborative skills.

Workshop Schedule & Activities

  • Introduction: Share a brief overview of your guitar experience, favorite music genres, and personal aspirations.

  • Guitar Circulation: A mindfulness exercise where each guitarist contributes a single note and passes it to the next player. We will practice listening without thinking to become fully present.

  • Open Mic: An optional opportunity for each person to share a song with the group.

  • Qigong Practice: Simple exercises to cultivate breath, body alignment, strength, mobility, and tension management.

  • Group Collaboration: We will break into subgroups for 20 minutes to practice different components of a piece of music (rhythm, bass, melody, lead, or vocals) and then rejoin to play the song together.
