The Andean bandola carries the melody in the traditional Colombian trio: while the tiple and guitar provide harmony and rhythm, it sings the melodies of bambucos, pasillos and torbellinos with its bright tremolo. It is played with a pick on metal strings grouped into courses. Your vetted teacher knows the Andean repertoire and adapts lessons to your level.

I'm Carlos. I spend much of my time surrounded by strings, sheet music and unexpected questions. I like teaching with creativity, humor and plenty of music, because the best experiences often start with a simple 'what if we try this?' 🎶✨😄

From age 8
To be oriented, many children start at about 8 or 9 years old, as their hand already embraces the diapason and their fingers have the strength to step on metal string orders without frustration. Before that age, a musical initiation base that develops pulse and ear best works. It depends on every child: his or her hand size, his or her interest and his or her capacity to concentrate. Adults can start at any age, and many come to the bandola after playing guitar or tiple, making it easier to get his or her first steps.
It connects you with the Colombian Andean music from within, with his melody and with his face with his face and his face.
The work of trémol develops a fine control of his right hand and great co-ordination between his and his hands.

The two are pounding Colombian ropes and they coexist with the typical trio but they play different roles. The tiple usually goes with scattering and chords while the bandola carries the melody with a prectro and a trumole. If you are attracted to singing the melody, the bandola is your instrument and if you best care about rhythmic accompaniment, tipple.
No, you can start from scratch. If you play guitar or tiple, you will have a path through his or her left and ear, but his or her plepter and trémol technique are worked from the base with any student.
The heart of the repertoire is Colombian Andean music and that's how to start his training. Nevertheless, his bandola also appears in arrangements of Latin American, classical and popular music. Your teacher can include pieces that motivate you without neglecting the traditional base.
Yes, as long as the camera shows his and his pellet and his diapason with clear light. Home classes in and around Bogotá allow more direct posture corrections and many people choose according to his or her schedule and level. We tell you about the differences in home or virtual classes.
