This mini masterclass will help you to develop techniques for the national instrument of Brazil in a fun, friendly and supportive environment. This class is a perfect chance to try something new as a complete beginner (morning class) or for more experienced/intermediate players to develop their playing (afternoon class). We will focus on several musical styles, with opportunities for individual feedback about ways to continue your practice at home. 

Instruments: Instruments will be provided but participants are encouraged to bring their own if they have them.

Cost: £10 per workshop. 

Numbers limited to 9 participants per class, first come first served. If interest level is high, more classes may be scheduled. 

Booking and payment in full in advance of the class is essential. 

Venue: The Vale, Unit 2 Vale Mill, Micklehurst Road, Mossley, 0L5 9JL

Parking is available, and Mossley train station is 15 minutes walk from the venue.
