Miloco have partnered with Music Retreats to launch the Guitar Improvers programme at our Lake Malvik residential writing and recording facility in Sweden.
About the location
Lake Malvik is located in the village of Runemo in idyllic northern Sweden. Nestled in the tranquil pine forests, the studio has been built in a large detached farmhouse featuring three luxurious guest bedrooms that provide the accommodation for Malvik’s visitors.
Only two hours from Stockholm, Runemo is home to everything that characterises Sweden – mountains, sea, archipelagos, lakes, rivers, forests and wilderness, with its own distinct character and picturesque countryside.

The studio comprises of a huge naturally lit control room, live room plus some rather unique recording spaces across its three floors. A vast array of equipment and instruments from the usual to the not so usual are also at hand. Everything about Lake Malvik was conceived with the inspiration of the writing process in mind.
Ideas will never be short in this wonderful creative space.
About the course
The Guitar Improvers programme (17-21 August 2015 and 24-28 August 2015) is delivered as a five-day break designed to help participants improve practical ability and gain a better understanding of theory concepts in a fun, relaxing and inspiring environment at the prestigious venue in Malvik, Sweden.
This is also a great opportunity to meet like-minded individuals and make new friends!
