Bandoneon Lessons Online

You discovered the bandoneon and fell in love with it.

I’ve been there too, feeling that same sense of enchantment.

I completely understand how challenging it can be to find a bandoneon teacher outside of Argentina, and that’s precisely why I made the decision to immerse myself in the study of this extraordinary instrument in the heart of Buenos Aires, at the renowned Conservatory “Manuel de Falla.” and at SADAIC.

My journey led me to connect with exceptional mentors like Rodolfo Daluisio and Néstor Marconi, and numerous talented musicians from various genres, all contributing to my understanding and love for the bandoneon.

And now, I'm thrilled to share my knowledge and passion with you.

The Learning Method

Imagine unlocking the secrets of the bandoneon, not just in the context of tango, but in its entirety. That was my quest, and it led me to a profound musical education at the Conservatory. This experience allowed me to approach “the bandoneon” itself, opening up a world of possibilities beyond the confines of tango. If you share this curiosity and yearning for musical exploration, you’re in the right place.

As I wrapped up my academic journey, I felt compelled to pass on the invaluable lessons I’ve learned. Now, I’m here to offer you a personalized bandoneon learning experience. My teaching method is more than just a set of lessons; it’s a journey tailored to build your confidence and proficiency with the bandoneon from the ground up.

This training system lets you start from scratch, providing the fundamentals to “build” your confidence with the bandoneon. The learning method is progressive and includes the same study material used at the Buenos Aires “Manuel de Falla” Conservatory, along with some additional content I’ve added.

Imagine understanding the fundamental techniques like the “mano quieta” (quiet hand), mastering the “doble apoyo” (double stand), understanding the “linea de tiro” (pull line), and perfecting the “columna de aire” (air column). These are the building blocks that will empower you to play the scores you love on the bandoneon.
