"TOQUEMOS Solo Bandoneón", Nivel 2

("Let's play Solo Bandoneon", Level 2)

A SERIES OF 4 WORKSHOPS

September 11th & 26th, October 9th & 16th 2022

Rodolfo Mederos needs no introduction to any Bandoneon afficionado. He is one of the Greatest Masters alive and it is with great pleasure that we announce a series of online workshops with him on the subject of playing 'Solo Bandoneón'. The workshops will be held in Spanish, with English translation.

"Mederos has influenced several generations of bandoneonists. Through his unique style of playing and writing, he has further developed the design and harmonisation of Tango, without losing the elegance of those before him. Mederos is completely at one with his bandoneon. I hugely look forward to experiencing his teaching!" (Rocco Heins)

"Thank you so much for this weekend - I came away filled with enthusiasm for my practice and having made new connections with fellow Bandoneonists. Rocco's maintenance sessions gave me the courage to open my instrument and repair minor problems myself. "
