COLORADO INSTITUTE OF FLAMENCO PRESENTS - - ALL DAY FLAMENCO GUITAR WORKSHOP!

CHECK-IN: 11:30AM
WORKSHOP STARTS 12:00PM IN THE UPSTAIRS THEATER. REFRESHMENTS SERVED.
CALL (720) 202-7380 FOR MOR INFORMATION
Cost: $200
WHAT TO EXPECT
The Day Long Workshop — Kai and Tara Narezo ‘s one-day workshops are designed to reinforce the fundamentals of compás and technique. Rather than focus on lots of new material, we focus on reinforcing what you know and giving you the confidence to really play.
WHAT WILL BE COVERED
It’s easy to go out and find new material, and that’s what most flamenco workshops do. Our approach is different. We focus on really understanding and feeling the things that make flamenco the amazing art form that it is – compás and technique. Think of our workshops as a one-day bootcamp, where you’ll be challenged and pushed. You’ll come out with better compás and better technique, but more importantly you’ll come out with a better sense of how to continue learning and improving.tion goes here.
WHAT LEVEL
Ideally everyone attending will have finished the Flamenco Explained Beginner Course or have a pretty solid grasp of Soleá. It would be helpful to have some familiarity with other Palos as well, but not strictly necessary.
This would include a semester or more in CIF’s Flamenco Gutiar Techniques & Repertoire group class.
If you’re unsure whether or not you’re ready to get the most out of a workshop like this, just send Kai & Tara an email to learn more..
