Overview

Dive into the rich culture of the Rio Carnival with Brazilian percussion classes. In a studio that is the heart of several blocks of the city, choose from six instruments and learn from experienced percussionists about the history and execution of unique rhythms. It doesn't matter if you are a novice or already play, the experience is inclusive and engaging. After class, you take home a playlist with several of the songs we played together and have the opportunity to rehearse in a real Carnival block.
