Workshop Topics
• The historical and musical connection between Bossa Nova and Jazz

• Right-hand technique and Brazilian groove

• Scales and arpeggios applied to Brazilian jazz

• Arranging jazz standards with Brazilian rhythms

• Reharmonization techniques

• Practice philosophy and musical mindset

Right-Hand Technique
Brazilian guitar relies heavily on right-hand independence. The thumb maintains bass and time, while fingers articulate harmony and melody. Groove, balance, and dynamics are essential.

Scales &amp; Arpeggios
Scales and arpeggios are used as melodic tools, not mechanical exercises. Focus on melodic minor, major modes, and arpeggios of seventh chords and upper structures.

Arranging &amp; Reharmonization
Jazz standards can be transformed using Brazilian rhythms such as bossa nova and samba.

Reharmonization techniques include secondary dominants, tritone substitutions, passing chords, and pedal points—always respecting the melody.

Musical Philosophy
Sound, time, and groove are more important than speed. Music is about communication, storytelling, and creating an emotional connection.

Thank you for sharing this musical experience. Enjoy the journey between Brazilian music and Jazz.
