Our Day-long Flamenco Workshop is for students wanting to refine their technique and compás in a group setting. The workshop is approximately 5 hours long, broken into two sessions of a little over 2 hours each, with a little break in between. These workshops are ideal if you’re unsure about any aspect of your playing, or if you just want some new ways to approach your practice and learning.
We have two main goals in our day-long workshops:
-To make sure there are no bad habits in technique or rhythm that might be holding you back.
-To teach you strategies to improve your understanding and feel of compás.
In the first session we’ll work on technique and compás exercises, and I’ll have a chance to check on everyone’s hands and compás to see if there are common problems or to address specific issues that come up.
In the second session we’ll apply all of this to feeling comfortable playing – to really owning the material you have and gaining a sense of mastery.
And we’ll leave some time at the end to answer as many questions as possible about specific challenges you may have, or anything really.
We’ll focus on Solea, Solea Por Buleria and maybe a bit of Bulerias depending on the group. And rather than give you tons of material, we’ll really work on making the most out of a little.
The specifics of how much we cover will depend on the overall level of the group.
The question we get the most is “Am I ready for this?” Ideally, you’ve finished the Flamenco Explained Beginner Course, and you have a pretty solid grasp of Soleá. It would be helpful to have some familiarity with other Palos as well. We likely won’t be doing anything super virtuosic, but at a minimum you should have a decent sense of compás and feel comfortable with your rasgueados.
If you’re unsure if you’re ready to get the most out of a workshop like this, just send us an email and we’ll talk it through. We’ll probably ask you for a video to see where you’re at, and we can discuss if you’re ready and even what to be working on between now and the time of the workshop.
