Are you struggling with the music in Argentine Tango?
Written for those completely new to musicality, this book clearly answers the basic questions about the music you may be too embarrassed to ask in a class:- What is a beat?
- How is it different from the beat, being on the beat and the Compás?
- How do you find them in the music?
Through clear explanations and examples, Oliver Kent starts you on your journey to a deeper understanding of Argentine Tango's music.Argentine tango lacks music suitable for beginners and those new to musicality, so Oliver begins with simple examples using a metronome to help you learn to find, clap and then walk along to a simple rhythm. He then moves onto using easy-to-follow pop songs to explain more about the beat and the rhythm.
He then shifts to focus on Argentine tango's Compás. First explaining exactly what it is and then gradually building up ways to dance socially to it. With his characteristic friendly, relaxed style, he addresses common problems such as how to find and follow the Compás as it moves across different instruments, and what to do when you can't hear it.
With this foundation in place, learn how Argentine Tango's rhythms and Compás provide structure to its music. Understanding how they give dancers musical cues, will help you to interpret the music. Rather than getting tied down in complex academic theories, the book focuses on how you can use this new knowledge to improve your social dancing as quickly as possible.
To consolidate this, a whole chapter is devoted to walking the reader through how to dance to the Compás in Francisco Canaro's Poema.
Filled with music suggestions, by the time you've finished this book, you'll have the tools to start dancing confidently to the Compás.
Get Understanding Musicality: Al Compás del Corazón today and unravel the mystery and contusion surrounding Argentine Tango's Compás.
