Why be a Junior Tamburitzan?
To start with, its fun. Folk dances are fast, fun and challenging. They are even more fun and challenging when they are done as a group!
The folk music that we play is also fast, fun, and challenging!
The group practices weekly to learn the dances, songs, and music that we play at our performances.
We learn from experienced instructors. In fact, all three are former Duquesne Tamburitzans. Unlike other ensembles that concentrate strictly on music or dance, the Junior Tamburitzans offers plenty of each.
We learn to play the tamburitza instruments from Croatia and the Baltic regions of Europe. The tamburitza is a cool instrument because of its unique sound and steel strings.
We perform locally for civic and charitable events. All of the costumes are provided by the group. Our performances offer something for everyone; combining music, dance and our great costumes.
Probably the best part is making new friends.
The group accepts new members ages 6 to 17. There are no try-outs. You do not need to own an instrument or know anything about music to join. And, there are no additional costume fees.
