Your Pieces Could Be Professionally Published
Your Music Could be Beautifully Recorded
Daniel loves to perform pieces by CCG members and has performed multiple full programs of member compositions.
“Among the outstanding classical concerts livestreamed during 2020, one project deserves a gold medal for a mighty achievement. From the 3 to 4 week courses held on-line this year, the results were well beyond expectations, resulting in a large folio of original pieces being ready to be performed in concert by the good Doctor himself in a remarkable concert program.”

You could be available for commission and get paid to compose pieces
Gill has only been composing for two years, but has written over 40 pieces
Her music is also published by Bergmann Editions. Imagine what you could achieve if you harnessed your creative abilities.
Ilay started composing two years ago and has also written over 40 pieces
Imagine if Ilay never started composing - we would be missing some incredible pieces for guitar.
Your first composition could be of this quality…
Here is CCG member Lan’s first ever piece, composed in 1 month.
She did this with no prior composing experience and limited knowledge of theory/harmony. You can do this too.

“Daniel’s teaching style and his CCG platform are just what I needed to move my guitar technique, composition skills, understanding and applying the language of music to a whole new level. For years now, I struggled finding a program that addresses my weaknesses and can fit my busy schedule. With a trove of materials to explore and study and targeted live and recorded sessions with Daniel, CCG offers the beginner to the advanced guitarists opportunities to expand their musical possibilities in many ways. Most importantly to me is that I don’t spend hours and hours in mindless practice. CCG is organized in such a way that rounds up my musical experience and inspires me to expand my musicality. It is also a pleasure to learn alongside other musicians who have similar challenges, in a supportive and relaxed environment.”

“I have been playing guitar for many years but I was not really improving and was in a bit of a rut. Joining CCG has revitalized my playing by providing inspiration, exercises, masterclasses, videos and ways to focus so I can achieve my goals. CCG has so much more to offer too, including harmony, composition, analysis of major repertoire plus the support of likeminded people in a friendly group. Daniel has vast knowledge and expertise which he enthusiastically shares. CCG is a fantastic platform and I’m so glad I joined it.”

Being a member of CCG has given me the opportunity to further grow as a musician. It’s a very interactive platform where you get lots of personal feedback and where you can continue learning about harmony, interpretation, analysis and much more! There’s a wealth of information available on the CCG website and during the live sessions you get plenty of opportunities to ask any questions you might have. Daniel truly is an expert in the field! Being in such an encouraging community motivates you to continue working on your skills/compositions/arrangements and helps you to reach your goals!
Testimonial from Helen:
“Highly recommended. I have learned so much in just 3 months.”
“Both Daniel and the group participants are all kind and encouraging.
By learning how music is composed, I am beginning to understand music theory. My sight reading has really improved as I can see and feel where the music is going.
Starting my grade 6, Daniel has taught me how to approach a piece, understanding landscape and colour of the music before even trying to play it, giving me confidence to play.
The course is excellent value for money....the equivalent of 1.5 hours/month of tutor time, but you have several hours a week and access to vast online resources.”

FAQs

CCG is not for absolute beginners - some experience in reading notation is required.
For playing, a grade 3 level or above is suitable.
For theory, CCG does advance you through from the basics. We guide you through from triads, to modulation, to extended chords and more. Everything is made practical and relevant to the classical guitar.

CCG currently has a diverse range of students, including passionate amateurs, young prodigies, serious students and guitar teachers.
Some students honestly did have some doubts at first as to whether they could raise their skill levels to compose, perform and understand music. But they rose to the challenge and produced incredible pieces and have performed exceptionally.
As long as you love the guitar and have a desire to grow, CCG will be right for you.
