What is a masterclass? Typically masterclasses use pre-chosen performers, each presents a piece and then receives a 30-minute lesson from the teacher in front of a live audience. Our audience members attend for free.
CCGS presented a technique and master class with Gaëlle Solal. The video from the event is a valuable resource for taking any guitarist’s playing to the next level! The technique class includes topics ranging from healthy posture to reducing that pesky string squeak. The master class portion includes two players presenting pieces by Thelonious Monk and Astor Piazzolla. What a class!!!
We hope that you’ll also watch our master class with Jorge Caballero, presented by CCGS. The class was held at John Carroll University. The class featured four guitarists, playing classic works by Villa-Lobos, Torroba, Barrios, and Bach.
2018-19 Masterclasses
John Carroll University – Masterclasses
This season’s masterclasses will be held at John Carroll University in LC 39 – O’Dea Conference Room of the Lombardo Student Center. The Lombardo Student Center is located near the South Belvoir entrance to campus, and the O’Dea Conference Room is down the hall from the JCU Bookstore. Find campus maps here and here.
When entering campus from the Warrensville traffic circle, after passing the guard gate veer right and follow the road to the end. This is the Belvoir lot, where you can park. If you enter from Belvoir Road, once you pass the guard gate the road leads immediately to the Belvoir lot.
From the Belvoir lot, the nearest entrance to the Student Center (which also houses the Recreation Center, Natatorium, and St Frances Chapel) is through the Recreation Center. After entering, pass the first set of stairs, turn left down the first hallway, go down a half set of stairs into the atrium, and look ahead for a ramp that leads up to a hallway. If you find the right building, it’s always easy to ask someone for directions to the room, or call us at 216-905-9348.
