FAQs Do I need to read music?
Can I share my room? Accommodation in student rooms is strictly single-occupancy. If you would like an extra room for friends/family let us know. Can friends/family come to concerts? Yes! Please invite them to your student concert (free entry). Summer school students can go to any of the lunchtime and evening concerts free of charge. Others can purchase a ticket when they go on sale closer to the event.
No. As flamenco is primarily an aural tradition, reading from music is not required. Students are encouraged to bring their phones to make recordings of what they have learnt. I’m a beginner, will it be right for me? Students can be new to flamenco guitar but should have at least 1-2 yrs playing experience in another style.
What preparation do I need to do?
Students with no background in flamenco should work on some of the basic flamenco techniques: rasgueo, thumb rest stroke and arpeggio so that they can focus on language during the course and not get bogged down in technique.
