Community Development interview with Kurt Tittlemier

An interview with classical guitarist Kurt Tittlemier and and cute little violinist. Kurt is a highly trained classical guitarist but here he is inviting the community in with a jazzy arrangement. This is great because people need to be invited into the world of classical guitar with something they know like a jazz work. They aren’t going to come running when they hear the name Regondi despite whether they enjoy it or not.

Lot’s of players don’t like doing these performances for TV as it doesn’t showcase their classical talents but it’s so essential for community development. Nice work Kurt.
