quote:
I know I am a bit of a slow learner, but I found that one hourly lesson from a very good teacher/player every 10-14 days covering say 3 significant topics in that hour gave me enough material, thoughts and ideas so that I had something well practiced and polished to show the teacher when I went back again. Even with weekly lessons, I found that I hadn't really got the value out of the lesson, and wasn't practiced enough by the next lesson. The other thing is the value of sleeping in the learning process (not during the lesson ;-) . I mean the brain just goes into overload unless you sleep and let your brain make the right connections to soak it all in to your subconscious, so you 'feel' it as well as think it. It also 'takes time, you know', weeks and months, for your muscles to learn to respond properly when learning flamenco, so as not to strain / damage them. Yeah exactly, in time you realize that you brain just canot absorb all of things that maestro playing or saying to you so it takes some time to master some falsetas, technical or rhytmical stuff and then you can go farther... Flybynight, every foreigner is some kind of slow learner... Let´s face it - flamenco is just hard:). Honestly, I had lots of hours with teachers and result is full HD of falsetas that I cannot play.
