I need some advice

hey everyone so I have this opportunity to teach a 10week seminar at my school (UCLA) of my choice. Naturally, I decided to instruct a seminar on flamenco. Since I am an Anthropology major, the course shall have a perspective from the aforementioned discipline. Anways, I have to provide a BRIEF 10 week outline of the course, and I am stuck on weeks 8 and 9. I was wondering if anyone could recommended anything for the missing slots. Any other recommendations would be great also, I did type this thing up in about 5 minutes. And I will have guest musicians throughout the course as well. by the way, week 6 is going to be my thesis when I pursue my PHD in Anthropology...like an anthropology of music. Week 1- an introduction to flamenco: a brief history Week 2- Key musicians of flamenco: the 19th century to present Week 3- musical structure of specific palos (songs):compas and the interaction between the dancer, singer, and guitarist Week 4- old vs. modern flamenco (the various cultural influences) Week 5- Paco de Lucia: his impact on flamenco Week 6- flamenco and the everyday lives of the musicians (using Durkheim’s argument of how musical events are like a religious experience) Week 7- the significance of Solea, Alegria, and Buleria Week 8- Week 9- Week 10- where flamenco is today thanks again! juben

doug you can come in all you want, im just not sure if you can. that is, if UCLA will allow it because it is an undergrad seminar that is taught by undergrads (myself), so i am not sure if the same rules of auditing applies. ill keep you posted once i know ricardo i plan on showing many clips that are pertinent to my lectures, but i will definietly check out your recommendations Miguel I am going to discuss Lorca in week 2 (so i guess i should change it back to "key persons of flamenco") Romanza most the topics that you are proposing i will discuss in week 10 (where flamenco is, how it has expanded outside of spain, and where it may go in the future) but thank you, i will keep in mind the popularity of non-spanish artists Gux good idea, i can incorporate some of those percussions into one of the weeks, perhaps in the old vs. modern flamenco Paco I chose PDL because 1) i am going into this course with the expectation that my students have little to no background in flamenco 2) since i have such an expectation, i do not think the students could appreciate what camaron did for flamenco, juxtaposed to Paco's contribution, which is easier to demonstrate 3) camaron will be brought up many times (in weeks 2 and 5) 4) once the students learn more about the key players of flamenco and camaron, i hope they will take the initiative to go out by themselves and seek other artists and 5) yes, i am a guitarist ahaah thanks guys for taking the time to respond, it means a lot, and its very helpful. please keep em coming! juben
