Flamenco guitar lessons
Flamenco music always strikes people with its incommensurable strength and passion. For many years, the guitar has been the only instrument involved in this indistinguishable popularised in the south of Spain. Over time, it has become more open to many influences, and the guitar has turned into a vessel for different traditions. Flamenco guitarists have now been playing with jazz musicians for many decades, which has also helped the popularisation of the instrument.
It is a music of aural tradition, through which the learning process is largely bound to your instructor. The subtleties of the right-hand technique plus the complexity of rhythms and styles within the genre, make self-taught learning a very arduous enterprise. We all know about famous pop and rock musicians who openly say they have not received any lessons and have learnt anything by themselves. When Paco de Lucia was already a known figure worldwide, he received instructions to play Concierto de Aranjuez from Jose Maria Gallardo del Rey. A one-of-a-kind “master of masters” situation. This is just to illustrate how crucial having someone that guides you could be when it comes to learning Spanish guitar.

It will be a game-changer. Feel free to contact us for flamenco lessons with a highly qualified Spanish teacher who will be able to show you the intricacies of this fascinating instrument.
“Flamenco is not excess but excessive. For better and for worse. It is a music full of generosity.”. Enrique Morente
