Music
Calling all tango Musicians and Vocalists: don't forget to bring your instrument (and vocal cords) with you to SFTX! We will be having two music jams, two rehearsals, and maybe even a mini-performance. Last year we had a lot of fun with the music jam, and we played live at the Finnish Hall Milonga.The Music:
We have not yet decided on specific songs to work on for
the event, but we will probably be working with songs available for
download at tangojam.com/music/.
We
will put special emphasis on some of these songs for both the jams and
the rehearsals. Details will be posted here soon. If you are
interested in the participating in the music events, let us know when
you register, and we will send out an email when the songs are
available.
More information about some of the songs (piano music, lyrics, etc.) can be found at todotango.com. We encourage musicians and vocalists interested in the jams/rehearsals to get familiar with the songs beforehand, as it will make our time together more productive.
The Jam and Rehearsal:
At the jams, we will be playing songs "a la
parrilla," as well as finding interesting ways of putting the music
together, applying ideas from the exchange, and most of all, having
fun! At the rehearsals, we will refine what we have worked on and
prepare songs for a small performance.
Musical Proficiency:
For the jams/rehearsals, reasonable site reading
skills, ability to improvise accompaniment, or a great ear for music
will be useful. In place of this, you are welcome to download the
music and learn the songs to the best of your ability beforehand - in
fact, we encourage musicians to do this!
Note: If you are not sure of your level, come and try it out. If it is too far over your head, you can bow out, observe, or only join in on parts you know. This will be a low-pressure environment!
