[Ben Bogart]

**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. We appreciate your support.
