This course is designed for piano players with some prior experience who are interested in learning how to play Latin music styles such as Salsa, Bossa Nova, and Samba. Through a combination of theory and practical application, students will learn the fundamental techniques, rhythms, and chord progressions that define the Latin piano sound.
Through a variety of instructional methods such as demonstration, listening exercises, and guided practice, students will gain a deeper understanding of the Latin piano style and how to apply it to their playing. The course will include individual and group instruction, as well as opportunities for performance and feedback.
