Hi Dylan Consider the flamenco conservatory in Cordoba, where Paco Serrano and others teach.

Hi Jamey It is allready 15 years ago, but I played by than for two year guitar ( flamenco ofcource) My teacher from that time found me talented,and had arrainged for me an audition. I had to play a few pieces, was nervous like hell, and they let me in. The only thing they asked was if I spoke Spanish,I did not want to spoil things now, because they let me in allready, so I said a bit...... The next thing they asked if I could read musical notation, ( I had to be carefull now, could not read a thing) and said, well, I can read notes, but I cannot play from paper... That was it! Unfortunatelly, for the flamenco annyway, my live headed up in another direction, so I could only studie for a year with Ricardo Mendeville , the head teacher overthere.. Peter

I must admit that my mind does boggle at the thought of any sort of full-time course or school of Flamenco guitar. I mean...it's not exactly like learning Physics or History, is it? I'm still trying to get to grips with techniques I learned "how" to do years ago, it's just actually doing them that poses the problem and takes the time. For me, a couple of hours with a teacher, say every three months or so, to sort out any questions and technique, would be all I could cope with frankly... I'm casting my mind back to my college days, where sleepy eyed and jaded, I'd open my books at 9.00am and write like hell (except for a 10 min Fag break) till 12.45pm, when we'd all happily adjourn to the local Chinese Restaurant for an "El Cheapo" lunch of Cornflour Soup followed by a Curried "thing", and then back to more writing from 2.00pm till 4.30pm and then back home for a jolly evening's homework! The thought of doing that with the guitar, is not only incredulous, but I would think frankly impossible for anyone IMO? cheers Ron
