When I first signed up for Horn Camp, it was with some trepidation. As a novice player, would I be able to keep up? Would I look an idiot? However, the warm and supportive atmosphere, the expert guid... See more

Highly Recommended 🤩
Our host John Thirkell was very organized and communicated frequently & kindly all what was necessary. The food was very good, everything homemade Andalusian stuff in the evenings. I came to the wrong airport (Granada instead of Málaga) and the host picked me up extra! This was incredible kind. If not enough - after the course he also brought me to Granada to pick my rental car.
Additionally I booked not a single room, but I got one single room - because one guy canceled the course. The house is the private home of John himself - it lies in the mountains of Monachil, so you can concentrate really on the course instead of going out in the evenings 😉
About the course itself and the teacher: in the mornings we had group courses, Rob tried to figure out where we were standing - and the group was really very different concerning the personal levels. But he always found stuff where we all were interested in. In 3 afternoons we even got private lessons for everyone single! We could ask Rob everything we wanted. He is an incredible experienced, creative and tasteful guitarist. If I had questions he answered very competent - if not he figured interesting points out what we could do in the lesson. Furthermore we recorded lines on an easy chord progression, everyone got the chance to do that, Rob coached us to adapt our ideas so that they worked - a nice experience!
So a very big thank you 🙏🏻 to the host and to the teacher!

Hey thanks Nazim. It was an absolute pleasure to have you here and you're welcome back any time. Just remember- Malaga Airport 😂
I didn't want to go home!
A seamless, inspiring, comfortable, fun and educational experience! I was in the guitar camp with Rob Harris and between himself, Johnny, the wonderful caterers and the fellow campers, I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
I'm a professional player and still learned a TON. The group lessons were dynamic and high energy, and the solo lessons allowed me to work on some elements of my own playing and mentality that were causing me problems.
The food was amazing!!
The house was amazing!!
It doesn't matter what level you're at, you can get so much out of it. Do yourself a favour.
