RETURNING STUDENTS
For those who have already taken one or two of our Singing in Portuguese workshops, I just want to let you know that on this third one we’re going to repeat some of the same songs, in order to improve everyone’s pronunciation. We will also have a couple of easy new songs as usual. I also want to give an opportunity to those who would like to come up front and sing one the songs to do so. I’ll accompany you at the piano and offer guidance and suggestions to your pronunciation.
Note: In order to reserve the proper room size, we need to know the exactly number of people attending the workshop.
For that reason, we will increase the door price to encourage everyone to register ahead of time.
THANK YOU, AND WE HOPE TO SEE YOU IN OUR NEXT WORKSHOP!

About the workshop
Workshop details:
A two-hour workshop where participants will learn the rudiments of Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation, as well as how to sing up to 10 Brazilian songs. This workshop is open to people of all age groups, and knowledge of Portuguese is not necessary.
Luiz will start by teaching the basics of Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation, with emphasis on the pronunciation of vowels and the irregular pronunciation of some of the consonants. He will then play and sing a simple well-known Brazilian song at the keyboard and will explain in detail how to pronounce the words and sing the melody lines. He will also give both the literal and general meaning of the song’s lyrics. Participants will be encouraged to sing along. He will proceed by playing and singing other songs as time allows.
