Marc Galea Guitar Workshops

Location :

Marc's way of teaching is based on logic thinking and the art of improvisation utilizing the right side of the brain which is largely ignored in the western culture.
Every lesson is planned in a way that the student is working towards achieving a certain target within the syllabus and hand-outs are given. Every lesson is one hour long in a class of 8 students and each term consists of 12 lessons. Although students will be in a class Marc gives individual attention and twice a year students are given the opportunity to perform in a realistic venue. Past concerts have been held at Rolling Stone, Strings, Signals, BJs and MFCC.

Although sitting for exams is optional, once a year an examiner from RGT comes to Malta to assess those students who wish to get qualified.
