Brazilian Singing Lessons – Voice Lessons with Portuguese Pronunciation
From 49.79 C$ /h
Hello, my name is Virgílio.
I am a Brazilian lyric tenor, pianist and music teacher specializing in Brazilian vocal repertoire and I work as a vocal coach for singers interested in Brazilian music.
Brazilian music has unique rhythmic and expressive qualities, and learning it with a native Brazilian teacher helps singers capture the natural phrasing and pronunciation of the language. Many singers around the world love Brazilian songs but find it difficult to sing them with natural pronunciation and musical phrasing.
In these lessons, I help students develop vocal technique while learning how to interpret Brazilian repertoire such as Bossa Nova and MPB. Students may explore songs by composers such as: Tom Jobim, Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, Vinicius de Moraes and others.
Students do not need to speak Portuguese to start learning Brazilian songs. Lessons gradually introduce pronunciation and meaning of the lyrics.
Lessons may include:
• vocal technique
• Portuguese pronunciation for singers
• Brazilian repertoire
• musical interpretation
• rhythm and phrasing in Brazilian music
Brazilian songs often combine subtle rhythm, expressive phrasing and poetic lyrics, and understanding these elements is an important part of the lessons. Whether you are a beginner singer or an experienced musician interested in Brazilian repertoire, the lessons are adapted to your goals and musical interests.
