García Rodríguez saw his fortunes rise with a boom in the [[sugar]] industry. García Lorca's mother, Vicenta Lorca Romero, was a teacher. In 1905, the family moved from Fuente Vaqueros to the nearby town of [[Valderrubio]] (at the time named Asquerosa). In 1909, when the boy was 11, his family moved to the regional capital of Granada, where there was the equivalent of a high school; their best-known residence there is the summer home called the [[Huerta de San Vicente]], on what were then the outskirts of the city of Granada. For the rest of his life, he maintained the importance of living close to the natural world, praising his upbringing in the country.<ref name="Maurerix">Maurer (2001) p. ix</ref> All three of these homes—Fuente Vaqueros, Valderrubio, and Huerta de San Vicente—are today museums.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.patronatogarcialorca.org/casamuseo.php |title=Patronato Federico García Lorca, Fuentevaqueros, Granada, Spain |website=www.patronatogarcialorca.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.museolorcavalderrubio.com/ |title=Casa Museo Federico Garcia Lorca – Valderrubio |website=www.museolorcavalderrubio.com |access-date=19 July 2015 |archive-date=15 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200815013631/http://museolorcavalderrubio.com/ |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://huertadesanvicente.com/recuerdos.php |title=Huerta de San Vicente |website=huertadesanvicente.com}}</ref>[[File:Federico_garcia_lorca_con_su_hermana_isabel_en_granada_en_1914.jpg|thumb|García Lorca with his sister {{ill|Isabel García Lorca|es}} in Granada {{circa|1914}}|left]]
In 1915, after graduating from secondary school, García Lorca attended the [[University of Granada]]. During this time his studies included law, literature, and composition. Throughout his adolescence, he felt a deeper affinity for music than for literature. When he was 11 years old, he began six years of piano lessons with Antonio Segura Mesa, a harmony teacher in the local conservatory and a composer. It was Segura who inspired Federico's dream of a career in music.<ref name=Stevenson2007>{{cite journal |last1=Stevenson |first1=Robert |title='Musical Moments' in the Career of Manuel de Falla's Favorite Friend Federico García Lorca |journal=Inter-American Music Review |volume=17 |issue=1–2 |date=Summer 2007 |pages=265–276 |id={{ProQuest|1310726}} |url=https://revistas.uchile.cl/index.php/IAMR/article/view/53424/56060 }}</ref> His first artistic inspirations arose from scores by [[Claude Debussy]], [[Frédéric Chopin]] and [[Ludwig van Beethoven]].<ref name=Stevenson2007/> Later, with his friendship with composer [[Manuel de Falla]], Spanish folklore became his muse. García Lorca did not turn to writing until Segura's death in 1916, and his first prose works, such as "Nocturne", "Ballade", and "Sonata", drew on musical forms.<ref name="Maurerx">Maurer (2001) p. x</ref> His milieu of young intellectuals gathered in El Rinconcillo at the Café Alameda in Granada. In 1916 and 1917, García Lorca travelled throughout [[Castile (historical region)|Castile]], [[León (historical region)|León]], and [[Galicia (Spain)|Galicia]], in northern Spain, with a professor of his university, who also encouraged him to write his first book, ''{{ill|Impresiones y paisajes|es}}'' (''Impressions and Landscapes''—printed at his father's expense in 1918). [[Fernando de los Rios]] persuaded García Lorca's parents to let him move to the progressive, [[Oxbridge]]-inspired [[Residencia de Estudiantes]] in Madrid in 1919, while nominally attending classes at the [[Complutense University of Madrid|University of Madrid]].<ref name="Maurerx" />
