Mindfulness and Guitar
Mindfulness and Guitar Playing and Performance for the Amateur and the Professional
Event at the New York City Classical Guitar Society
As we returned to the stage or to playing for family and friends after a challenging year first year of the pandemic, mindfulness could help ease the transition and enhance both the quality of our playing and our enjoyment of practice and performance. In this hands-on session, we practiced and discuss mindfulness techniques for the classical guitarist.
Today the New York City Classical Guitar Society celebrates the remarkable range of music that has emerged from the instrument’s central tradition and its melding with other genres and styles. We draw on our resources — an Advisory Board of world-class artists, New York’s wonderful guitar community, and the cooperation of performers from around the world — to provide both our membership and the guitar-loving public with an exceptional experience.
As one of the world’s great cultural centers, New York City has long attracted top concert artists on every instrument. Since 1936 there has been a New York classical guitar society, initially inspired by the compelling performances of Miguel Llobet and Andrés Segovia in the city’s halls.
