Monique is a charango teacher and ceremonial musician.
20+ years of exploring & studying the charango. 10+ years of teaching it.
I've been playing music my entire life, a beacon of light through all the ups, down and arounds. The charango came into my life in 2003 on a visit to the Andes. A maestro of life, sweetness, tenderness, breath, community and connection.
This daily journey continues - of studying, playing, arranging for, teaching charango. I invite you to be part of this growing online community of like-minded musicians, researchers and teachers.
