How to open a TuCuatro account and start the courses
An account is how you enter the learning program, keep your place in a course, and receive updates in the language you chose. If you already bought an instrument with us, or you already study here, skip the steps you have done.
Three steps. None of them is a quiz.
1. Register
If you do not have an account yet, open one with your email, or log in with a social account you already use:
That page lives on Learn, the English school. Use a real email. You will need it in the next step. Write down the username you pick. That is what we look for when we turn on access.
2. Write to us so we can turn on your access
Registration alone does not always open every course. Send a short email to info@tucuatro.com with:
- the username you just created
- the email you used to register
- whether you want to study in English or in Spanish
We activate the membership on that account so you can enter the learning program. If you already wrote to us when you bought the instrument, say so. We will not make you repeat the story.
3. Pick a language and stay there
English courses live on Learn. Spanish courses live on Aprende. They are different sites. Notifications, lesson emails, and the next recommended course follow the site you chose.
If Spanish is the language in your house and in the music you grew up with, Aprende will feel closer. Those lessons assume more of the folk repertoire in your ear. If you are learning the Venezuelan cuatro in English, start on Learn and stay there.
After you get in
A good first course in English is Cuatro Venezolano for Beginners: parts of the instrument, how to tune to A, D, F#, B, your first chords, and three pieces you can play. In Spanish, start with the basic cuatro path for beginners.
Go slow. Learn each technique cleanly before you jump ahead. If a string buzzes, fix the finger before you add speed. The courses stay open. You do not have to finish in a weekend.
If you are still looking for where to put your hands this week, read where to begin learning the Venezuelan cuatro.
If something does not work
If you cannot log in, or a course still says you have no access after you emailed us, write again to info@tucuatro.com and include the username. You can also reach us on WhatsApp: message TuCuatro.
Once you are in, you are in the cuatro community. The instrument is the thing we share. See you in the courses.
