Notes on the composition

ABC Tango was written for my colleagues in Georgia and debuted by University of Georgia guitar students at the 2020 Georgia Music Educator's In-Service conference. Thank you to those perfromers and Dr. Daniel Bolshoy!

The goal was to create an accessable piece in A minor for beginning guitar students. The description I wrote for the piece states" A delightful exploration of the key of A Minor including the note G#, dotted rhythms, and memorable melodies."


I hope you enjoy ABC Tango!
