In what language will the classes be presented at Song Camp Europe?

Most classes will be presented in English. For native Italian speakers, select classes will be presented in Italiano, and if any classes are presented in both English and Italian, live translators will be actively facilitating language translation services and will occasionally be available for other classes.

Do I need to bring my guitar?

You're welcome to bring your own guitar. A small number of acoustic guitars may be available for rent throughout Song Camp Europe for students who aren't able or don't wish to travel with their own. Please email info@songcampeurope.com to inquire about availability of loaner guitars. Arrangements for rental guitars must be completed and confirmed before August 1, 2026.

If I bring my guitar, do you have recommendations for the best way to fly with it overseas?

This is a surprisingly complicated subject. The best choice is to bring your guitar as a carry-on, so it travels with you in the main cabin of the airplane. Sadly, this is not always an option and sometimes you can't even find out if this option is available until you're already at the gate trying to board your flight! Obviously, checking a guitar that's not in a sturdy hard-shell case is not a good idea.

Checking your guitar as "checked baggage" carries some degree of risk (as shown in this instructive and entertaining video). We do not recommend bringing your most precious guitar with you overseas unless it's carefully packed in an incredibly sturdy, robust guitar case (such as those made by Calton, Hoffee or Pegasus) and it's fully insured against loss or damage. Typically, airlines will not cover the full value of musical instruments they damage or lose, so it's a good idea to purchase additional insurance for your valuable musical instruments.

Additionally, the fine print for most plane tickets spells out that the airlines are not responsible for lost or damaged electronic equipment in your checked bags (for example: microphones, guitar pedals, computers, hard drives, cameras, etc.) so it's best to always transport these with you in your carry-on luggage.

The regulations covering transportation of musical instruments on flights originating in the USA have recently been changed in favor of musicians. For more about this topic, visit the Folk Alliance International website at folk.org. This link takes you directly to their "Travel Tips" page, which offers 3 exceptionally informative documents you can download that discuss traveling with musical instruments, including tips, suggestions and the specific text of the FAA regulations that require airlines servicing the U.S.A. to allow you to bring your guitar on board your flight as carry-on baggage.

Taylor Guitars also offers this informative post about traveling with your guitars.

I play piano / keyboard. Do I need to bring my own?

A small number of "loaner" keyboards will be available for rent throughout Song Camp Europe for students who aren't able to travel with their own. A house keyboard MAY be available for free use during certain times when it's not needed for classes. You can indicate your interest in renting a keyboard during Song Camp Europe in your registration form, or email info@songcampeurope.com to inquire about availability of loaner keyboards. Arrangements for this must be completed and confirmed before August 1, 2026.

What if I don't play an instrument?

Can you hear a melody in your head, or sing it? If so, you can write a song lyric and melody. Oftentimes, writing with a musical instrument can get in the way of your creativity and you wind up writing what you already know how to play. A better approach can be to hear the music in your head, then find it on your instrument or partner with someone who can. There are many great songwriters who don't play a musical instrument.

How's the food at San Felice?

So awesome.
