MUSIC WORKSHOP

In this class, the students learn how to sing Brazilian Popular Music - MPB, Bossa Nova, Samba, Forró, Native folk songs, indigenous songs, Capoeira, and other rhythms. Students will become familiar with the most important representatives of MPB and get to know famous participants of the " Afro Brazilian Street Carnival" in Salvador, in the " Carnival of Recife" ( Frevo, Maracatu ), as well as in the typical "Carnival of the Escolas de Samba" in Rio de Janeiro.

Classes are held in the afternoon, so they don´t interfere with the language courses. The classes cover theoretical aspects as well as practical application. Included in these professional music lessons is a booklet about theory, tradition, and characteristics of Brazilian music, including lyrics and notes of the most famous songs.

If you are a beginning Portuguese speaker or already havesome knowledge of the Portuguese language, you can participate.

Each group must have a minimum number of at least 3 students.
