Florian -> RE: When did you start accompanying?? (Sep. 12 2007 16:15:59)

if u havent done it before it always feels too soon
and it could never ever be too late
i started accompaning about 3 months after i started learning guitar, was kind of pushed into it by my teacher who said the dancers teacher said to go into classes.
that really was too soon [:D]
but it happened and i did, i guess i jumped in the deep end and there was nothing i could do about it.
dont think to much about it, it will never feel right , and nothing can prepare u for it, ul have that learning experience to go trough.
having good compas, rythm and no ego is the only thing u need to get started
( and i didnt even have those when i started so..)
no matter how good u are if u dontr know it , you wont know it, u have to learn it
to prepare..
listen to solo compas, listen out for llamadas, make sure u know and understand the counts of the palo u are accompaning, practice your compas
chances are you gonna start on a beginner dancers class, and they dont know, the only person that knows will be your dance teacher ... and she understands, so theres nothing to worry about.
ps. accompanyng dancers and accompaning singers are 2 different things, here u get very very litlle time with the singers for reherals mibe once before the show, u practice and learn using recordings, if u lucky u might get 2 tryes at any one palo.
because theres only 2 of them here in my city and theres not that much competition for them, they kind of get away with anything ( they got the run of this town) ... they dont like to reherse too much [:D][:D]
good luck
