Brazilian choro, an entirely instrumental genre originating in Rio de Janeiro in the 1870s has become a national musical language for Brazilian instrumentalists across genres.

This class, taught by Brazilian Strings Trio, is catered toward all instrumentalists and we learn some basic choro rhythms and and learn how to stylize an easy choro as a Brazilian musician might: which ornaments to use and where, how to interpret the tune, and how to improvise within the tune.

The ability to read music is a plus (as we will hand out sheet music) but not a requirement and as always, a recording device is highly recommended.
