Giovanni Grano visits CSM

Posted on: Tuesday, October 10, 2017

Here are Giovanni Grano's comments on his recent visit to CSM:

(Erasmus Exchange from Verona, Italy)

 

"The Cork School of Music, an example of efficiency, architectural features, serene environment and maximum collaboration with host staff. The building of new design has an excellent auditorium, a large library and a theatre of prose and opera. The Reception of my person by my Irish colleagues was far superior to my expectations. This would be the school that we would expect in Italy, where we do not spend a penny for construction and even less for music. Thank you Ireland for the examples you provide!"

 

"I feel like I'm in excellent company among the few and selected guitarists in cork.... a great honor to find myself among these international names.."

 

"My last lecture at the Cork School of Music talking about the Chiesa's and my personal guitar technique.Students very interested and mindful of my explanations and examples.Wonderful students also thanks to my friend and teacher Jerry Creedon.A wonderful experience ! Will miss all of you….”
