A Musical Holiday

[koster]

I'd like to go on holiday for two weeks and learn to play a musical instrument - maybe the guitar or piano.

I'm a complete beginner. Obviously there's a limit to how much you can achieve in a fortnight, but I'd like to try!

I'm open-minded as to where to go, but it shouldn't be too expensive.

Any ideas?

'Special interest' holidays tend not to be cheap. This website (with beginners guitar courses in Tuscany) hasn't been updated for 3 years(!), so they might not be running the courses any longer but it might be worth sending them an e-mail:

How about Irish fiddle playing?

A course in the USA might be beyond your budget, but this place offers beginners courses with several musical instruments (including guitar):
