I started my musical life exclusively with classical music.
Years later I became interested in Brazilian music and although I already had good pianistic technique, I had great difficulty interpreting Brazilian rhythms in a relaxed and natural way . That changed when I became interested in the world of percussion .
I understood that in order to be able to play Brazilian music on any instrument, you have to master the percussive base. That's exactly what we're going to do in this course: you'll master all the basic rhythmic patterns so you can play relaxed and with a good groove. It worked for me, and will work for you!

After studying with Henrique I was reminded of the importance of having a good teacher. He can really teach you how to experience Brazilian music, the rhythms, grooves and vibes with your body and on the instrument.

Henrique is a wonderful musician and teacher who more than knows his craft. His courses are methodically excellent and he cuts the aisles into the jungle of Brazilian music with charm, expertise and infectious enthusiasm. This combination is unique.

Henrique helped me understand Brazilian rhythms at their roots. His concept is very clear and easy to understand. It is suitable for both amateurs and professional musicians who want to understand and learn the Brazilian musical language. In addition, thanks to the online course and its workshop, I now know the function of the style-typical instruments in samba, bossa nova, baião etc., which in turn helps me to play the guitar, improvise and compose for my bands.

Henrique is a unique encyclopedia of Brazilian music in Europe. He has compiled all the essential information about Brazilian music and translated it into an easy-to-understand vocabulary so that both advanced musicians and beginners are able to start practicing right away.
Recommended for all musicians interested in Brazilian music as well as those who want to improve their sense of syncopation and timing.
90% of musicians who play melodic instruments don't spend enough time learning to drum.
Once you understand this and master the basic rhythms of percussion, the interpretation of melody instruments will improve significantly and you will start playing with a good rhythm.
