quote:
but you would be in Spain!! There's the kicker. Just being there, even just watching local TV could have a greater and more authentic influence than what you might get in Canada. With the second biggest country in the world and one of the smallest populations, the chances of finding a teacher who really knows what they are talking about are decreased exponentially. (Particularly if you want to accompany dancers and singers) The percentage of Spanish immigrants to Canada over the years is minimal. I make these clarifications because my intent is not to slag Canadians, Canadian Flamenco guitarists etc. etc. However, out of the 7 Flamenco guitarists, myself included, in Ottawa, Canada 12 years ago, 1 was a Spanish Immigrant who DIDN'T share his knowledge, 1 had studied in Spain for 4 month, 1 had learned from the Juan Martin books and the rest knew less than me. Who knows the situation today. Stoney
