Mark Wyman's

Big Tango Fake Book

is available at our online shop! A great collection of over 400 Tangos, Valses and Milongas, it is an indispensable resource, especially if you are  taking part in the Sunday Bandoneon Meetups or practising with the Archive.
A Unique

Archive of videos, for study purposes

We're in the process of creating an extensive collection of videos to help with the study of A La Parrilla playing. 

The first block of videos contains a collection of A la Parrilla tunes, played by the great Maestro Orlando Dibelo, using Mark Wyman's Big Tango Fakebook as a starting point. Every video can be slowed down for learning purposes, and sections can be looped for repeated practice.

The Practichord App

Your essential practice buddy -
An app that helps you master chords, chord progressions and voicings
An essential element to feeling comfortable playing Tangos A la Parrilla Style is to really know your way around the chords on your instrument. This app will help you along the way to achieving this.
    "It's fun and slightly addictive"
Born out of Ruth Rozelaar's creative study exercises and developed into an app by Jamie Gifford, with this app you will have hours of playful practice games at your fingertips. Once you become familiar with how the app works, you will also be able to devise your own games with it. 

Unique feature: All sounds on the app are real Bandoneon sounds, not digitally created ones.

  • Nice voicings and smooth transitions from one chord to the next.
