Cheap Flamenco Lessons

My gf sended a link with cheap flamenco lessons:
90 euros for 10 weeks, 1 lesson each week....don't know exactly what it contains.

The site is in spanish and with 2 days learning spanish I can;t read it, so have a look yourselves, maybe it is something, maybe not.

Kozz, if you look under 'Clases de guitarra' (which you can probably understand already

) and click on 'Descripción del curso' ( - that too) it tells you that they offer courses at different levels, for people who are just starting and know nothing, and for people who recognize a guitar when they see one and know something about it. You don't have to read music because they use tabs.

There they give you an idea of the different levels, and there's an audio file of the piece that you study in each level. So from that you should be able to tell if it's any use to you or not.

Then under the same menu 'Clases de guitarra' you click on 'Profesores' (teachers) and discover that the teacher is....een kaaskop!

You can see who he studied with, and now he's finishing his professional degree with Manuel Granados. (Klompen are not mentioned...)

They're pretty vague about the location, but obviously it's somewhere in Barcelona.

Thanks Estavan,
I hadn't checked the site in detail.
Funny how another "kaaskop" ends up in teaching flamenco.
I checked the audiofiles and indeed the first solea is from the Manuel Granados books.
The location must be Barcelona I suppusose "bcn"...

As a real cheasehead playing a Mexican guitar I wanted to express my respect to the Mexicans and to all the Kaaskoppen in the flamenco.

Au lait!

An inspiring photo. If you keep playing for 40 years you can become an extra belegen flamenco kaaskop like Payo Humberto. It's a good ambition.
