Touch Guitar CirclE

The Touch Guitar Circle (TGC) is a private study group founded and led by Markus Reuter that follows a systematic approach to playing tapping/touchstyle instruments. This approach consists of a set of interrelated exercises that facilitate ergonomic, relaxed playing while covering all aspects of how to efficiently navigate the fretboard. Exercises utilized within the TGC undergo ongoing discussion, revision, and enhancement to best support touchstyle players.

TGC gatherings are held both in person and online throughout the year and encompass group practice, discussions, and refinement of this unique approach. TGC offerings are open to players of all types of touchstyle instruments, not just those that play Touch Guitars®.

With TGC members located all around the world, you can develop your skills and understanding with support from a diverse community of touchstyle players of all levels. Regardless of your level of skill, the TGC is an invaluable support system for your musical journey.

TGC Update Regarding Proposed In-Person Intensive Dates

March 15, 2024

Hello everyone,

After considering initial responses to February’s TGC newsletter, it looks like August is the preferred date out of the two options presented for an in-person intensive in Mount Bethel, Pennsylvania:

August 10th through August 17th, 2024 (after Three of a Perfect Pair music camp): Arriving on the 10th, ready to play on the 11th, departing on the 17th

However, we will need additional people to confirm interest in attending this intensive in order for it to occur. Keep in mind that these in-person TGC intensives benefit all experience levels and all types of touchstyle instruments.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me at courtney@touchguitarcircle.com or to info@touchguitarcircle.com if you are interested in learning more about this intensive or wish to secure your place on the list for August.

Hope to see you there!

Courtney
