 New Flamenco Guitar School Opens in ...
|
|
|
Attention everyone interested in learning flamenco guitar in Spain!
A new flamenco guitar school has been opened in Madrid. The school is run by the great El Entri, among his teachers you will find Jesus de Rosario, El Viejin and other respected, experienced guitarists from the Madrid barrio of Cañorroto.
All levels are welcome here, from the earliest beginner to someone who can already comfortably play in compas, with good technique, etc. El Entri is the most experienced flamenco guitar teacher in the world, and his worldwide reputation is quickly understood when you see his ability to teach in person.
13 hours of class per week in small groups of 5 - 10 people, which guarantees lots of personal attention from the teacher. Classes focus on all features that a flamenco guitarist should master: technique, solo performance and practice with dancers and singers, and even music theory. Academia Cañorroto offers group classes as well as one-on-one classes with El Entri or the professor of your choice (including Jesus). Classes are Monday through Saturday, 5 - 7PM, with additional one-on-one classes available at flexible hours. If your Spanish is not fluent, fear not, there are translators available. El Entri is experienced at working with non-Spanish speakers.
The school has just opened so at the moment prices are INCREDIBLY economical... You simply can't find this level of professional flamenco education anywhere at these prices.
Check out the website: http://www.academiacañorroto.es/
Contact: 649 17 09 05 (Raul) 678 03 67 84 (El Entri)

Hi everyone. A quick explanation of who I am. My name is Evan and I am originally from the USA, NH to be exact. I came to Spain in late 2005 with some interest in learning flamenco guitar. I had basically no experience with flamenco, a little bit with classical guitar and jazz, rock, etc. I knew some music theory. I didn't speak any spanish.
What follows is my story.
In early 2006 I started taking classes with El Entri, who was teaching then at Amor de Dios. Basically, I wandered around the city, and asked anyone I could to teach me flamenco. Everybody told me to go to El Entri, that he was the best. And so I did. To make a long story short, this guy is the best guitar teacher you will ever find, anywhere, period. He taught me everything I know about flamenco. This guy can teach anybody. I realized what an amazing opportunity I had, and I ended up sticking around Spain. I'm still here, four years later.
During this time I've learned far too many things to list here, but it can all be summed up by saying tocar solo, tocar por baile y tocar por cante.
Entri just opened his own school in Cañorroto in December, after teaching at Amor de Dios for many years. He is closely associated with all the Cañorroto players, many of which are his family, and most of which he has himself taught to one extent or another. Jesus de Rosario, Ramon Jimenez, El Viejin, David Cerreduela, Jeronimo Maya, etc. These guys are all part of the same community, and if you hang around for very long you will run into them. They're all pretty friendly, but Entri is definitely the nicest and most people-oriented of all of them. And he has an absolute passion for teaching, to anybody who has the balls to try and learn.
There are others who aren't yet well known internationally, young guys who have been studying with Entri for quite a while, but once they start recording and videos appear they will become very well known. Monstrous technique, PERFECT compas, etc. I have group classes with these guys on a daily basis. They are the future of flamenco.
Right now, as I said, the prices are insanely low, though they probably won't stay like that for very long. To give you an idea, I take 52 hours of classes a month (13 per week, about 2 a day), which includes 4 hours of one-on-one classes and the rest in groups of about 6 with El Entri. A ****load of individual attention for each student, more than you can imagine. The total I pay for this, per month, is less than what you would pay to rent a room in a cheap apartment in Madrid. The prices Entri has now are actually 30 percent LOWER than what he had at Amor de Dios, and he's offering more than 2x as many hours per week as he had there. This **** is INSANE. You probably wouldn't even believe me if I posted the number here, but since I'm just a student at this school, I probably shouldn't do that.
If you want to check this out, and you're timid, give me a call. This is my mobile: +34 606073579. I can bring you by the school, you can meet Entri, see how the classes are, etc.
The thing about flamenco is that it's like a very well kept secret. The community is very close-knit. But only because these guys don't really use the internet, they don't have facebook, they have no idea what foroflamenco is. Anybody who comes here, no matter what level of experience, whatever damn language they speak, they can learn this **** just like I did. I'm kind of letting the genie out of the bottle by sharing this information with everyone here. But **** it, I'm living my dream, playing guitar 8 hours a day, and I get to hang out with the best guitar players in the world on a regular basis. So I guess I might as well share it.
Ok, back to practicing.
-E

Well, tell them to come here, then they will know  Seriously, tell them they have some groupies here on this foro, lol! There are also many good guitarrists hanging around and exchanging ideas here. If you have any chance to participate with a video, i would love to see what kind of things you learn there, or in general what kind of style you play. Thx for posting the info, i have the DVD with Entri, but it did not include much playing from him or Jesus or anybody. Any video footage of these guys is worth gold in my eyes.
