Programs

a- Education which supports the development of student musicians at all levels, from primary school to high school, familiarizing them with the language and the richness of tango.

b- Education about genre’s masters, rooted in the existing documentation, motivated by a commitment to tango as an art form.

c- Education about specific techniques of interpretation, based on great works of tango both known and unknown.  “Specific” does not mean that they lack modernity, but that they reflect the correct technical knowledge needed in order to put the distinctive stylistic characteristics of the language of tango into practice.

d- Education aimed at the training of groups with local musicians.  This is how the Tango School Orchestra began, with Emilio Balcarce and innumerable other invited master musicians playing alongside musicians who are one or more generations younger than them.

e- Education through conferences, master classes, and exhibits.
