General student impressions of our teachers, and GuitarOasisInternational:
“Taking a lesson with Tali Roth was an unforgettable experience. We worked on Barrios, and rarely have I had such an intense, profound, and inspiring lesson. Tali is a complete musician—an outstanding performer, a generous teacher, and someone who approaches the student’s musical world with empathy and insight. Her teaching combines precision, passion, and an extraordinary sensitivity. Truly one of the most beautiful lessons I’ve ever had”

“My experience in Italy was really life changing, getting to meet who was then *the * Master for me and now a mentor and a colleague – Sharon Farber. I flew all the way to get to work with her. But I ended up with also – amazing travel stories, and friendships with musicians across the world.
My favorite part was the simultaneous work in the same environment with the guitar and violin players, being allowed to watch their lessons every day and then write my music to be played by them, Trying out ideas live – even in the shuttle, at lunch, or whenever! The constant feedback from them and hearing the ideas played live every day was super meaningful. Even the guitar lessons themselves they I listened to – by Tali Roth – were helpful in the deeper musical level of how to approach a musical piece. I totally recommend!”Noga Kedem,
Graduate of Berklee Valencia Master’s Film Scoring program and Klaus Badelt’s team member composer
“I attended Guitar Oasis International Camp in Italy in 2023 and 2024. It was a great experience where I got the opportunity to learn from amazing teachers and attend various masterclasses. I learnt many new playing techniques and developed understanding of various types of music styles which I did not know of before. The camp also gave me an unforgettable experience of living in Italy and I made some great friends who I am in touch with even today. I want to thank all the teachers for making me a better guitar player”Ahren Dixit, 13 years old

“Every year I use to participate to a summer academy. What makes Guitar Oasis International special is that apart from the extremely high level of guitar masterclasses and recitals, you have also the chance to interact with composers and other instruments and to socialize with artists from the other side of Atlantic.
The “Italian hospitality” and the venue makes the stay unforgettable.
Definitely I will be there for second time in a row!!!”Chrysostomos Tzevelekos

It was the perfect place for me to enrich my composition skills and collaborate with other musicians 🎶”Naama Levi

“The film scoring masterclass at Guitar Oasis International was an inspiring and insightful experience as a composer looking to take the next steps in the industry. It was a rare opportunity to work with the amazing composers Sharon Farber and Amit Weiner. The private lessons they offered were invaluable, and I was able to gain personal feedback on areas I can grow as a film composer, both musically and professionally. We also had the opportunity to perform and conduct our music with live musicians and audience, which was an exciting challenge. Plus, it was very special to study in and enjoy the beautiful city of Torchiara, Italy! We were completely immersed in music, got to attend many concerts, and network with musicians internationally. Thank you so much for this opportunity!”Allison Kayoung Pham

“Ho partecipato al Guitar oasis International, edizione 2022 e 2023. L’ edizione 2022 è stata particolare e fantastica, ho avuto la possibilità di conoscere un ambiente musicale stupendo. Ho conosciuto la maestra Tali Roth, con cui ho fatto masterclass nelle due edizioni, Ti trasmette tutte le cose belle che un musicista deve avere.
