FLAMENCO COURSE
About the course
In this 10-week course, you'll get to know the basic principles of flamenco, focusing on the most popular flamenco styles like Soleá, Tangos and Bulerías.
You'll learn essential techniques such as pulgár, rasgueado and picado, and discover how to apply these to simple melodies (falsetas). We start by understanding the compás (rythm) and gradually introduce new techniques. This way, you'll give your falsetas more depth and dynamics. By working on both technique and musical structure, you'll improve your playing and develop a deeper understanding of flamenco.
