Instruments: violin, viola, violoncello, flute
Faculty: Leonardo Suarez-Paz
Tango's main instruments at its inception were violin, guitar and flute. The strings always occupied an important role, not only melodically but rhythmically. In these workshops participants will understand how to phrase as a string ensemble and how to interpret tango rhythms written in tango scores, which are never expressed as they are actually written! After working as a section, string musicians will proceed to play in "Orquesta Tipica" for a deeper understanding of how the instruments relate and interact in a tango orchestra and across distinct styles of tango.
REQUIRED for all string players participating in "ORCHESTRA TIPICA" along with JUNE 21 showcase

The bandoneon holds an important role in creating the rhythmical groove. Each orchestra had its style and signature rhythm which defined it. In the Bandoneon Ensemble workshops participants will work with different styles and repertoire which will be played in our "Orquesta Tipica."
Participants will come away understanding how the voicing of the bandoneon and rhythms integrate and interact in the orchestra and in different styles and gain experience by playing alongside faculty in rehearsals and showcases.

Instruments: piano and contrabass
Faculty: Anibal Berraute
Piano and contrabass are the center of the rhythm in the "Orquesta Tipica" with every orchestra's signature rhythm created by these two instruments. In Tango, the piano's left hand and the bass
have to match in every aspect, creating a special 'tango groove' for each style.
Pianists will learn how to accent and how to use the left hand and the bass players will work on matching it with 'arrastres,' 'glissandos' (previous to the accented beat) and 'strapattas.' The workshops will focus on different styles, from Di Sarli and Pugliese to Salgán.

Instruments: guitar (classical guitar)
Faculty: Alejo de Los Reyes
Tango began with gauchos and “the payada,” an improvised rhyme which interacted with the guitar’s rhythmical qualities and musical virtuosity. The guitar has always been present and important in tango, transforming across time from “the payada” and the earliest tangos into electric guitar played in the ensembles of Piazzolla and Salgán. These workshops are taught in progression and focus on tango technique, “the tango groove,” working with singers and recreating a traditional guitar ensemble. Select participants can showcase on June 21st.
