• Understanding Flamenco (singing, compás, dance structure or history)
• Spanish (Intensive 20 or Semi-intensive 10)
Aimed at dance or guitar students, as well as at anyone interested in learning about flamenco singing. Not only listening but also singing to better understand the songs; this is the basis of the course. The different palos and the various styles within each of them will be studied, for example, tangos from Granada, tangos from Extremadura, tangos from Cádiz…. Ideal for all those who want to understand cante and learn from a singer the differences and nuances between the different styles, including explanations about the relationship between singing, dance and guitar. It is not intended for singers; the objective is not to learn to sing, nor to study vocal technique, but to get to know cante, to apply it to each one according to their needs or interests.
In this course, a style will be studied each week, getting to know one or two different styles within the same style each day: first listening to the singer and then approaching this same song, rhythmically and melodically in a group.
The teacher corrects and explains the nuances and differences between the different styles until the group, through their own singing, understands them. At the same time, the singer explains which lyrics are used for dancing and where to finish off or make a tagline, for example, and which ones are only used for singing. In this way you will be able to know the different lyrics, so that later you can apply it to the dance or the guitar.
The singer can be recorded every day, in order to later be able to practice each one of the cantes.
