Guitar: Cantiñas (Beg./Intermediate)

This Fall our Beg./Intermediate level guitar class will start exploring marcajes, detalles, cante accompaniment, and falsetas por Cantiñas* (a). 

*Cantiñas can mean:

a. A family of 12-beat cantes that are usually in the major key – these include alegrías, romera, mirabrás, caracoles, and others 

b. Any member of the family in (a), except alegrías 

c. Any member of the family in (a) that doesn’t have a name – i.e. anything except alegrías, romera, mirabrás, and caracoles; sometime this type of cantiñas is named after its creator – e.g. cantiñas de Pinini

Beginning/Intermediate level guitarists have previous experience with flamenco right hand techniques (rasgueos, rest stroke picado, alzapua, arpeggios, tremolo), 12 count marcajes, and flamenco dance and singing accompaniment.
