Roni Glaser's Profile - tonebase Community

I'm a composer and guitarist from the UK, based in Berlin. I studied composition (and some guitar!) in Córdoba, Spain, and a bit more in Leipzig. I like music with movement, music that comes from and cultivates deep and special states of mind and feeling, and music with good humour.

Re: 5, 4 and 3-year-old students???
Update: the five-year-old, after a trial lesson, decided she wants to have regular and signed a contract (???) Well, her mum did. Any suggestions whatsoever would be amazing!

Re: New Repertoire
@David Ah yes! The guitar with as many wrinkles as he has and the extra "sound port" on the front ;) But somehow he's managed to play it for so long. That was Kris Kristofferson wasn't it???…
