Are you an experienced flamenco guitarist wishing to sharpen your skills? Perhaps you’re new to the art form and are eager to study with a tutor who will unravel the complex rhythms and techniques in fun and accessible ways? Well if so, why not book a 30, 60 or 90 minute private lesson with Samuel, now!
As an educator, Samuel Moore has experience teaching flamenco to all ages and ability levels. His teaching philosophy emphasises rounded musicianship and understanding the flamenco tradition in its totality, from solo guitar playing to accompaniment. Alongside this, Samuel’s teaching approach also stresses the importance of developing: strong rhythmic awareness, an ability to play by ear, and understanding the evolution of flamenco musical language from the late 19th century to the modern day.
Alongside teaching private students each week via his own online music school, Samuel is also the author of the ‘Flamenco Guitar Compás Essentials’ book series. Additionally, he serves as the principal flamenco guitar tutor at Arpeggiato School of Music (Chicago, USA). Previously Samuel was ‘Course Leader for Flamenco Guitar Studies’ at the Instituto de Cervantes, the Spanish government’s international institute for language and culture. Other previous teaching posts include leading workshops at the University of Cambridge, Leeds Conservatoire, the University of Leeds, and Newcastle University. Furthermore, Samuel has also been a guest artist and clinician at International Guitar Foundation events and at maestro Juan Martín’s annual international flamenco guitar summer school in Ronda, Spain.
Samuel initially learnt his craft by working with the recordings of great flamenco maestros of the past and producing transcriptions of their pieces. During his early studies he also attended workshops led by the great Paco Peña. Subsequently Samuel became a one-to-one student of the world-renowned flamenco guitarist Juan Martín. This five-year apprenticeship was funded by Arts Council England and Help Musicians UK. Following this, Samuel studied for a further four years with the Russian flamenco and classical guitarist Grisha Goryachev. Always keen to learn, Samuel has also studied with Dennis Koster (a former student of the legendary flamenco guitarists Sabicas and Mario Escudero). Samuel is an alumnus of Leeds Conservatoire. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Jazz, class of 2013.
