**Bandoneon Scholarship Fund/Tax Deductible Donations to the Tango Jam Project.**
Tango Jam And Ko-Arts are working to help ensure the growth of tango from the music side of things by providing access to information about the music in various ways. You'll find nearly all of aspects of the project important for tango-l members. Our plans include a tango lyrics wiki, free online discographies, learning resources for musicians, and now the Bandoneon Scholarship Fund to help ensure the future of Tango music. But to make it all happen we need your support. -- TangoJam and Ko-Arts would like to invite you to make an end of year Tax Deductible Donation to the new Bandoneon Scholarship fund and the Tango Jam Project. Donate at www.tangojam.com . Your donation, no matter what size, will help! We're proud to announce a partnership between Ko-Arts, a non-profit community arts organization, and TangoJam.com to support our mutual mission to make tango music and educational resources available musicians worldwide, and this year to create the Bandoneon Scholarship Fund. As an important part of this agreement Ko-Arts will be accepting Tax-Deductible donations on the project's behalf. The Bandoneon Scholarship Fund will provide the opportunity to study bandoneon with a professional Bandoneonista (in person or by video conference) to a promising student who would not otherwise be able to afford lessons. The details and application process will be announced once the capitol is raised and the funding campaign has ended. The award will be given to the student selected from applications by review board of tango musicians. In addition we are raising funding for: * Transcription and engraving hours for work towards TangoJam's mission to creating a free and comprehensive online tango real book with all recorded traditional tangos. * Programming and Data Entry hours for complete discographies of major tango orchestras prior to 1955. * Expansion of the Bandoneon Solo Archive by acquisition and digitization of bandoneón solo arrangements. (available in the downloads section) * Creation and distribution of new resources for learning to play tango on the violin, bass, piano, guitar, and bandoneón. (some available in the downloads section) * The creation of a searchable, editable, tango lyrics wiki. * And eventually full orchestral transcriptions of classic tangos. We are also looking for volunteers, especially with the following skills: * Entering and formatting music in Sibelius * Media Wiki administration * Php Programming * Joomla component creation Please support the Bandoneon Scholarship Fund and the Ko-Arts/TangoJam mission by making a tax deductible donation through the www.TangoJam.com website today.
