• enjoy making music with other players

• learn about music theory,
• get better at sight reading,

Classical Guitar

Ensemble

During Lockdown the group continued online through a series of meetings named 'SoundHole'.  This was the entry we made to Woodley Festival of Music in 2021

Earley Guitar Ensemble*  meets on Monday evenings during term-time in St Nicolas Church Community Centre, Sutcliffe Avenue, Earley .  

The group includes varied level of playing ability, but all in classical style. The level of music chosen is matched to the players, so if you have a guitar and can play a few notes from the dots there's a part for you!

Please drop me a note on the Contacts page on for further information!

The group started out as a guitar beginners evening class over 20 years ago, and it has run continually since then.

To join the group, you'll need a classical (nylon-strung) guitar, footstool and music stand - and a sense of humour helps too:-)

* Earley Guitar Ensemble is short for 'Earley And District Guitar-Based Ensemble' - EADGBE ! 

​ If you're a guitarist you'll probably know why
