Flamenco terminology

Hi all!

I'm new to the Foro and thought I'd use this as an opportunity to introduce myself. I'm a Flamenco Newbie, only having been learning for 5 months, but totally obsessed with it

My question is: is there any resources or sites anyone can recommend to me for getting to grips with flamenco specific terminology?

My theory is good, but when words like falsetta and letra are thrown around I have only the vaguest idea of what they mean

I feel as though really understanding the language will help my playing

Thanks!

From one newbie to another, welcome to the forum Haydn!

One of the members here (I believe it was a_arnold aka Tony) assembled a large glossary that I can email to you - send me your email and I'll forward it along.
