ABOUT TACO

• TACO is a casual and social orchestra that meets monthly. We don’t rehearse for performances, but we may offer occasional performance opportunities, which are always optional for musicians.

• There are no auditions, and all levels are welcome!

• The word “terrible” is a joke, meant to convey inclusiveness of everyone; sometimes, we’re tragic, other times, we’re terrific!

• Musicians of all skill levels from beginners to local music teachers share an afternoon of music-making; more experienced musicians use TACO to practice a second or third instrument; less experienced musicians learn how to play in an ensemble, many for the first time.

• Our library of music includes arrangements for full orchestra, from baroque and classical to pop and show tunes.​​

• New music provided every month, which you can practice ahead if you wish or practice your sight-reading skills at the gathering.

• To participate in TACO, you must be able to laugh at mistakes.

• Musicians bring their instrument, a music stand, their music, an appetizer to share, and lots of good humor!

• Sessions are $15 per musician. Guests are free and welcome to sit and observe our process.
