Customized bandoneon lessons for beginners and advanced students of all ages considering their interests and availability.
The bandoneon is played at the first class. Music theory is gradually incorporated to bandoneon study. No previous music knowledge is needed.

Methodology and objectives
The methodology I work with includes:
– Technical exercises with scales and arpeggios.
– Interpretation of J. S. Bach’s works.
– Tango rhythm notation models.
– Articulation exercises.
– Tango, Folcklore and other genres musical arrangements.
The objectives are agreed based on each pupil´s interests, nevertheless the following subjects are studied:
– Fully knowledge of the instrument
– Air flow control
– Good sound achievement
– Music reading for bandoneon
– Correct body posture.

Online classes via zoom, whatsapp, skype or through other platforms. All material to be used is digitized (music sheets, audios and exercises).

Carlos Olivetto![]() I learned to play the bandoneon when I was a child and, then, I never played it again.

Beat![]() Während meines kurzen Aufenthaltes hier in Buenos Aires hat mir Alejandro in einer ersten Bandoneon Stunde viel über dieses wunderbare Instrument beigebracht und erklärt. Ich durfte vom ersten Moment an mit dem Instrument spielen. Eine wunderbare Erfahrung und eine tolle Stunde mit einem hervorragenden Musiker, Lehrer und Menschen. Vielen Dank, Alejandro, ich werde dran bleiben. |
