HERE'S HOW YOU CAN DO IT
When I was a child I really wanted to play tango, but I couldn't get sheet music.
It was always a very difficult material to find, and the same thing happened with play alongs. There was no way to practice the ensemble over an orchestral accompaniment.
That's why I decided to create:
The resources I would have liked to have, starting with tango piano books at three different levels.
With the objective of helping you learn to play tango piano from anywhere in the world.

Arrangements that really
sound like tango
Unlike the editorial versions, the arrangements presented in each book were made with the intention that when played they really sound like tango.
PLAY ALONG
PLAY ALONG
Based on my experience and the fact that popular music is consolidated and manifested in ensembles, I consider it fundamental to pass through group practice the constituent elements of the genre.
The way to acquire them as well as their essence is in touching with others.
This is how play alongs come about
Practice as in an ensemble
Within the groups we have different roles. Sometimes we accompany, sometimes we do solos, sometimes we do counter-singing, etc.
Practicing with play-alongs helps you to achieve the necessary touch and swing, with the possibility to opt for recordings with and without your instrument to practice alone and as if you were playing with others.
EACH ONE INCLUDES
- The music sheet of your instrument
- Recorded accompaniments with real instruments
- Two speeds: Slow + Real time
About Me
YAZMINA RAIES
In my experience as a pianist in the tango genre, I participated in several pedagogical projects on the teaching of the genre for pianists and different instrumentalists.
In my projects I seek to bring an approach more similar to popular music. Taking into account the academic, but with the practice that leads you to play freely and improvise.
I seek to spread the tango genre around the world, and that more people can play this genre that is already part of the heritage of humanity.
