I&#8217;ve been with him for a year and I enjoy like a dwarf, the perfect methodology and Rafa, who before being a guitarist, is a great human being, a mentor, a teacher, humble and passionate, he gets involved even more than he should. Humanity, laughter and maximum knowledge.

Why? It is because Rafael finds the way to get your playing to the next level, he searches for ways and strategies, and with targeted exercises he facilitates the process. That is what I experienced with my time with him. The way he teaches is with the care and warmth of an uncle, with patience and generosity. It is also ultra clear the many years he has been playing professionally and the time he has been teaching, with the materials he gives for further study, and the ease at which he can problem solve issues in playing. For me personally, it was more than just simply another guitar class, the were beautiful moments shared together and fully recharging in the inspiration department.<br \/>\nGracias Maestro!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"avia-testimonial-meta\"><div class=\"avia-testimonial-arrow-wrap\"><div class=\"avia-arrow\"><\/div><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta-mini'  itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><strong  class='avia-testimonial-name'  itemprop=\"name\" >Alejandro Florez<\/strong><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"avia-testimonial-row\"><div class='avia-testimonial av-rhmg-9-00bf71aec63494eeb13bcf03836bd946 avia-testimonial-row-5 avia-first-testimonial flex_column no_margin av_one_full'><div class='avia-testimonial_inner'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia-testimonial-image'  itemprop=\"image\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/rafaelcanizares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/jorge-seca-180x180.jpg\" class=\"attachment-square size-square\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rafaelcanizares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/jorge-seca-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/rafaelcanizares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/jorge-seca-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rafaelcanizares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/jorge-seca-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/rafaelcanizares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/jorge-seca.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-content '><div class='avia-testimonial-markup-entry-content'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Maestro Rafael I admire your humanity, the intensity with which you express the emotions in the notes, the strength, the naturalness and the mastery of the guitar and of the musical expression. Currently, my monthly class at your school is one of the most intense and most anticipated events in my life.<br \/>\nRafael knows how to prepare individual materials and theory to immerse me in music and understand its fascinating rules. And in this way I\u2019m moving \u201cslowly and rhythmically\u201d (well, the comp\u00e1s is still not very internalized, but I\u2019m constantly in it).<br \/>\nI\u2019ll probably have to leave Barcelona soon.

It is a very ambitious project and my reason for being in this last stage of life, so, Maestro, I will do everything possible so that you do not retire.<br \/>\nIn the next life, Rafael, I ask to meet you at five years old.<br \/>\nThank you for your patience and your immense mastery.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"avia-testimonial-meta\"><div class=\"avia-testimonial-arrow-wrap\"><div class=\"avia-arrow\"><\/div><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta-mini'  itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><strong  class='avia-testimonial-name'  itemprop=\"name\" >Jorge Seca<\/strong><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"avia-testimonial-row\"><div class='avia-testimonial av-rhmg-8-ee9ab5f394d8b07335a0ce57d0967449 avia-testimonial-row-6 avia-first-testimonial flex_column no_margin av_one_full'><div class='avia-testimonial_inner'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia-testimonial-image'  itemprop=\"image\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/rafaelcanizares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/sergio-pointier-180x180.jpg\" class=\"attachment-square size-square\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rafaelcanizares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/sergio-pointier-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/rafaelcanizares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/sergio-pointier-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rafaelcanizares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/sergio-pointier-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/rafaelcanizares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/sergio-pointier.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-content '><div class='avia-testimonial-markup-entry-content'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>To unleash the deepest sonorities of flamenco on the guitar, with the necessary precision, speed, and compass, it is essential to have a correct posture and pulsation of the instrument. The Maestro Rafael Canizares observed and recorded in a video (of a few minutes) my execution, detecting my failures to execute the different contraptions necessary for the correct touch and what he had to correct. In just a few weeks I\u2019ve noticed the improvements in my performance (we\u2019re already on the heels of Maestro Paco de Luc\u00eda, heh heh!) And I\u2019ve also received a background in music theory to build chords and understand the structure of cante, as well as the most important technical resources to accompany the dance.

I am still working with him, and I consider this opportunity a privilege.<br \/>\nIn music, the chosen Maestro plays a fundamentally important role, and for this reason it seems necessary to make some reflections on the attributes of a true great Maestro such as Rafael.<br \/>\nHe never comments on his work as something heavy, instead he always teaches with great joy and passion, which does not depend on the level of the students, but on the love for music and the activities linked to it. In each class he teaches students to love music more.<br \/>\nYour knowledge never ends. His creativity springs from music, and even after years of class he continues to propose new things, because he himself continues to create and produce.<br \/>\nIt defines the tasks and difficulties in detail to describe and explain them, then indicates the solutions taking into account the abilities and needs of each student. If the problems are not solved, he suggests alternatives, looking for and experimenting with different possibilities, so that the students become more and more autonomous.<br \/>\nHe also transmits his way of studying and also his reflections on technique, interpretation and technical aspects. Thus, his entire personality is the object of the classes, and he becomes an artistic, pedagogical and human model.<br \/>\nThere are very few Masters in the world who, in addition to having great disciplinary mastery, possess these qualities, so Rafael&#8217;s flamenco guitar school is simply unique. I personally thank him very much for his help during a difficult career path, and I am happy to continue studying with him.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"avia-testimonial-meta\"><div class=\"avia-testimonial-arrow-wrap\"><div class=\"avia-arrow\"><\/div><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta-mini'  itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><strong  class='avia-testimonial-name'  itemprop=\"name\" >Claudia Schwarzer<\/strong><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"avia-testimonial-row\"><div class='avia-testimonial av-rhmg-3-eba7ec53b41a535ed90e885e2bf99c42 avia-testimonial-row-11 avia-first-testimonial flex_column no_margin av_one_full'><div class='avia-testimonial_inner'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia-testimonial-image'  itemprop=\"image\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/rafaelcanizares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/javier-martinez-180x180.jpg\" class=\"attachment-square size-square\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rafaelcanizares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/javier-martinez-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/rafaelcanizares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/javier-martinez-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rafaelcanizares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/javier-martinez-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/rafaelcanizares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/javier-martinez.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-content '><div class='avia-testimonial-markup-entry-content'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>In the years I took classes at the Rafael Ca\u00f1izares School of Flamenco Guitar I received a rigorous and methodical education in an environment that was always cheerful.

I think his method is perfect for adapting to the level and pace of each student.<br \/>\nI also think the scores he writes for us are really helpful. Together with the recordings, they really help to assimilate the material. My goal is to be able to compose my own pieces, although to be able to do it, I am going to need a lot of knowledge and a strong ability to play.

I recommend the school to all guitarists because you really gain a lot of knowledge about music, harmony, technique, rhythm and the different styles or palos of flamenco. Rafael also teaches you about scales, chords, knowing what position you\u2019re in when you play improvisation, etc. I think anyone who signs up and applies themselves will learn a lot in a short time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"avia-testimonial-meta\"><div class=\"avia-testimonial-arrow-wrap\"><div class=\"avia-arrow\"><\/div><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta-mini'  itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><strong  class='avia-testimonial-name'  itemprop=\"name\" >Daniel Blanco<\/strong><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"avia-testimonial-row\"><div class='avia-testimonial av-rhmg-1-19-5b4ce6fd271b991037bbb0cf34d6171e avia-testimonial-row-23 avia-first-testimonial flex_column no_margin av_one_full'><div class='avia-testimonial_inner'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia-testimonial-image'  itemprop=\"image\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/rafaelcanizares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/jonathan-maqueda-180x180.jpg\" class=\"attachment-square size-square\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rafaelcanizares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/jonathan-maqueda-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/rafaelcanizares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/jonathan-maqueda-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rafaelcanizares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/jonathan-maqueda-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/rafaelcanizares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/jonathan-maqueda.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-content '><div class='avia-testimonial-markup-entry-content'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>I\u2019ve been studying with Maestro Rafael for three years.

The method is really easy to understand, it\u2019s interesting, fun and adapted to your level, no matter how well you play.<br \/>\nGetting to know Rafael has been one of the best things that has happened to me. It\u2019s been really important for me to have the opportunity to learn to play flamenco guitar. So, I\u2019m in good hands.

The experience couldn\u2019t have been better. Rafael understands the virtues and the defects of the classical guitar and he has been able to adapt to my necessities and has satisfied my doubts totally. Of course, always supporting of this with his profound knowledge of the technical, harmonic, and esthetic ways of the flamenco guitar. The classes are very intense, full of joy with inexhaustible material and with all the passion and heart that the Maestro puts in it. This makes him stand out from the rest. I will definitely repeat the course as soon as I can, without a doubt. A big hug Maestro, till we see each other again!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"avia-testimonial-meta\"><div class=\"avia-testimonial-arrow-wrap\"><div class=\"avia-arrow\"><\/div><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta-mini'  itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><strong  class='avia-testimonial-name'  itemprop=\"name\" >Pablo Castro Nieto<\/strong><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-247po-b89093d9ac0b57636cacdabe448c2963 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-529'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lcn9ou1y-00f65de1e7d00dfbb12e0c2df58feb83 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>If you would like to leave your opinion, please write to us at <em>escuela@rafaelcanizares.com<\/em> and describe your experiences at the school.
