CARTAGENA JONDA XII: Course on Accompaniment to Free Style and Compás Singing. UPCT Social and Sports Center

Course Accompaniment to singing Free styles and A compás

The guitar accompaniment course for singing aims to understand flamenco from the instrument.

To do this, the different parts that make up a touch are treated and applied through practice. Falsetas, variations, markings, closures, etc., are exposed in order to make a touch, understanding the parts that make it up.

This material will be put into practice in the accompaniment of singing, a fundamental discipline to understand the styles from their foundations. All of this from a correct technical base that allows a good interpretation of the repertoire. Both rhythmic and free styles will be addressed.

Program: Accompaniment resources, variations, song structures, rhythm and audio without guitar to accompany
