Expand Your World With Music

THIS IS WHAT PARTICIPANTS TELL US

Our Retreats have been life changing musical experiences for many who have attended. Here’s what a few say about the Retreats or Learning from the Best…

“The teaching was really great and I was so thrilled with the overall atmosphere - the connection of the students and teachers was really special, and I made quite a few new friends. I know from being in the event business for almost 50 years that this unique, magical, environment doesn’t happen by accident and I realize that you all were the secret sauce. Thank you.”

— John L., guitarist

“Darol Anger is a genius, both musically and in general. He's a great teacher because he can communicate things in such a way that they at first seem very specific and then turn out to apply to a great many things. He's wonderful at articulating ideas in a way that makes total sense but also becomes more profound the more you think about it. And he's really fun and hilarious to boot! It's not often that you find a teacher who can make you laugh so much while not even straying from the course of study. He's endlessly creative, which makes learning from him feel like a joint exploration.” 

—Brittany H., fiddler

"Peppino D'Agostino has impacted my guitar playing like no one else.  His passion for the guitar is contagious.  The breadth of skills and techniques that he brings to his students seems endless.  And his ability to make the learning experience valuable, rewarding and fun to an entire group of students with mixed backgrounds and skill levels is second to none.  Whether in historic Benicia, California or the Amalfi coast in Italy, every retreat with Peppino strengthens my playing in ways I couldn't have imagined.  Peppino's influence has enabled my guitar to bring me "Close to Heaven."  Grazie!"

—Miles B., guitarist

Learn From The Best

MUSIC WORLD RETREATS are hosted by Peppino D’Agostino and Donna Wapner. Our goal is to partner with some of our favorite musicians and creative friends - and together develop intimate, supportive, learning experiences. We pick locations that will encourage and inspire one’s creativity. When participants walk away having learned something new, had fun, made new friends, and can’t wait to join us again - we know we have done our job well!!
