About this event

Eastside Jewish Commons and The Portland Folk Music Society Present the Sounds of Bossa Nova: A Pronunciation Workshop for Music and Language Lovers

Learn how to pronounce the lyrics in Portuguese while singing songs by Antonio Carlos Jobim. No need to speak Portuguese or be a singer - just bring your curiosity and love for music, all ages, $10/person.

This workshop is the perfect blend of language and melody. Come experience the beauty of Brazilian Portuguese and the smooth sounds of bossa nova in a relaxed, welcoming setting.

This workshop will be led by Brazilian Portuguese teacher and bossa nova enthusiast, Luciana Diniz, with live instrumental accompaniment by Tim Connell. Luciana has an MA and PhD in Applied Linguistics from Georgia State University, and she has been teaching Portuguese as a second language for more than 15 years. She often uses music to teach her native language.
