The Houston Class -- 1976-1986
One of the highlights of the Houston Classic Guitar Society, which my wife Susie and I founded in 1973, was the week-long summer master classes given by Pepe Romero that took place from 1976 through 1986. Participants came from all over the world and also included a number of my students -- many of whom have gone on to professional careers as musicians.
The classes were intense -- six hours a day -- and gave a very profound insight into Pepe's gift for pedagogy. Spending this amount of time with one of the greatest teachers in the world was a great privilege, and it helped shaped my philosophy and technique of teaching.
Looking back at the pictures is great fun!
