Course aim
to introduce the students to Flamenco melodies, rhythms, and techniques as well as the basic methods of accompaniment.
The focus of the 1st Flamenco Guitar Course is on the introduction of the students to melody, harmony, and rhythmic structures, as well as to the techniques of Flamenco guitar-playing, by first learning the styles closest to Andalusian folklore (Fandango de Huelva and Abandolaos), and then move on to studying basic Flamenco rhythmic styles (Tangos, Cantiñas, and Soleares), with emphasis on accompaniment to Singing. Another aim of the 1st Flamenco Guitar Course is the revelation to the students of the secrets of accompaniment to dances such as Alegrías and Tientos-Tangos.

The required level of guitar performance skills is described in the School Curriculum as it applies to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Courses in this speciality.
