Summary of This Method
The Brazilian Piano method guides you step by step through the basics of some of the most captivating Brazilian styles for pianists: choro, samba, and bossa-nova. The learning begins with rhythm, the central element of Brazilian music: placement, pulse, syncopation feel, and motif articulation. This approach immediately emphasizes the "groove" and how to make the accompaniment breathe, to achieve a lively and authentic feel.
Throughout the chapters, a wide variety of examples help you build an essential rhythmic and harmonic vocabulary: accompaniment patterns, chord progressions, typical colors, and phrasing reflexes. The goal is to provide you with concrete tools to interpret the proposed pieces with a credible sound, but also to construct your own variations. The audio files, accessible via streaming or download, complement the work: they include recordings of all examples, group pieces for improvising on the chorus, as well as playback tracks to play solo with a rhythm section. Finally, interviews with artists enrich stylistic understanding and nurture your listening, to refine your touch and sense of style.
