Toquemos Solo Bandoneón will explore the topic of musical interpretation.

In this series of classes, we will address two aspects: the production of sound, and the phrasing of the language of tango.

Working with the masterful arrangements of Rodolfo Mederos, we will discover the true depth of tango music, through the beautiful sound of the Bandoneon.

A well-written score contains everything you need. It only lacks one small detail - musicality. Playing music is not just repeating what is on the page. The same score could be played in many different ways without changing any of the written elements.

These workshops will lead us beyond merely reproducing what is written, they will teach us how to interpret it and to find our own expression.
