gerundino63 -> RE: Paco Pena as a teacher (Apr. 18 2005 8:08:04)

Hi Grant. I Live in Holland, so I keep a little track of them, and know a few. I have never studied With Paco Pena, but heared, he is very kind, but very precice. He expects from you, you do it like you been told. Ans seems very strickt about that. Some students got in a little quarrel with him about that. The Losada Brothers are The most known worldwide who studied in Rotterdam. With others it is going in all directions with them. Most of them teach and perform a little, one have a flamenco magazin with his wife. A few have their own cd. But a lot of them I nearly never hear about, One I know in person, And play with sometimes, Quitted to make a living in the music, and got a "normal" job. He is as much time as possible in Spain to hunt for Duende with the local Gipsy's So, over all, the degree is no guarantee for a job, you need to have flair to sell yourself too, and guitar players, as far as I know them, are mostly quiet people, not the carsalesmen tYpe! Ofcourse you have exeptoins[:D] Peter.
