Good Evening, Everyone,

Music has always been a part of my life. I have always had a special gift for it. I do not have perfect pitch, however, I have always had the ability to remember entire songs after one or two plays.

All things aside, flamenco is still extremely challenging and it brings me great joy to see an online community of people with similar goals helping one another out.

I am from a suburb of Chicago and I attend Purdue University at the moment. It is a long story, but I ended up meeting someone through my old Spanish teacher that happened to be a well known flamenco singer who coincidentally, lived near me. Although he does not fully occupy his time with the guitar, he is still better than me and understands flamenco theory.

I have played the flute for almost 10 years and will be approaching two years with the flamenco guitar this Christmas. I feel like I am making really good progress with it. I try to practice a few hours a day and listen to different types of flamenco almost exclusively now. I still enjoy many other forms of music, especially some obscure types of avant-garde jazz and progressive rock.

I hope that this forum will be able to help me improve my abilities and at the same time, I want to share all that I have learned with those that share the same thirst, desire, and receptiveness of a flamenco student.

Hi Dzakovich000

Welcome to the falsetaforum!

Learn Chinese. An insane amount of Chinese people have perfect pitch simply because of the nature of the language. haha

What are you studying at Purdue? I am starting to look at colleges and think about all of the things that there is to think about concerning colleges, so it would be nice to hear about the college experience and especially a specific college from someone in college, especially if you happen to be in a major which I am potentially interested in.

Oh yeah, progressive rock, woot woot! haha
