Some time ago I mentioned that the National Reference Centre for the Crafts in Granada was organising the first of it’s courses that touch on the subject of musical instruments. “Repair and Maintenance of Stringed Instruments“. Starting date was March 7 of this year and the instructor is Aarón García Ruiz, instrument-maker, doctor in musicology and experienced educator. The course is comprised of 810 hours and each student will receive a professional certificate. We are all hoping that this will be the beginning of a trend towards getting support from the different levels of government for guitar-making in Granada. Many voices have been calling for a guitar museum, an official school and government support for our initiatives in general.
