Tipple classes in Bogotá, at home and virtual

The tiple is one of Colombia's most representative instruments and the characteristic voice of Andean music: its 12 metal ropes, grouped into four orders of three, give them a bright and harmonic sound. Learning them allows you to accompany bambucos, corridors, guabines and whirlwind and also to play tipple melodies as a solo instrument. Classes are thought both for those who come from the guitar and for those who start from scratch.

FAQ about tiple

The tiple's bad if I play guitar?

You have an advanced path, because you share the tuning of the first four guitar strings and many chord positions are similar. The new is in the pressure that the grouped strings demand, in the right hand and in the Andean rhythms. With a teacher, that transition becomes far more clear.

What's the difference between tiple and guitar?

The tiple has 12 metal strings grouped into four orders of three, a smaller body and a more brilliant sound. The guitar has 6 simple strings and a more serious record. The Andean music usually plays together: the guitar contributes the bass and tiple, the harmonic and rhythmic mattress.

Do you play only traditional music at the tiple?

It's his most natural but not his only repertoire. Today his tiple appears also in popular music, mergers and contemporary arrangements and can accompany songs from other genres. Your teacher adapts his repertoire to what's interested with you, without losing the Andean rhythmic base.

Can you have virtual tiple classes?

The tiple works well by video phone if the camera shows both hands and there's good light. Stretch it calmly before each class saves time, because they are 12 strings and those that go octave require attention.
