Dance Quarantine - David George
This is an incredible piece written by David George titled "Dance Quarantine".
David just finished our 4 week Introduction to Composition course which ran in September and was taught by Dr Daniel Nistico.
David had NEVER written for guitar before, and this is the brilliant result after 4 weeks of participating in our live online lectures, receiving personalised feedback, structured coursework and material, and interacting with an engaged community of fellow students.
With the right tools and guidance, anything is possible!
I (Michael MacManus) had so much fun recording this and I hope you enjoy it!
Here is a lovely message David posted:
"Dear Daniel and Michael : May I take this opportunity to thank you both for organizing and delivering such an excellent and informative composition course. I am truly blessed to have benefited from this as this has opened up a 'uncharted territory' which otherwise I would not have ventured into. Now, you have got me 'hooked' onto composing more for guitar and hopefully for other instruments as well. Even though I have been teaching music for the past 35 years, I never though I could compose for guitar.
My little family also joins me in thanking you both for adding more music to our lives. Also, a big thank you to all my fellow composers and musicians who I had the privilege of getting to know through this course. My best wishes to you both as you continue to touch the lives of people through the beautiful art of music."
