Hello and welcome! I am Marcel leal, a Brazilian guitar teacher and Phd and would like to present you the "Master BOSSA NOVA harmony and rhythm" course.

Over the years, performing and teaching in other countries I’ve noticed that many of my non-Brazilian students and even musician friends had a kind of a block when performing Brazilian rhythms and harmony on guitar. So, I have developed this course where I address this difficulty through very practical and musical lessons.

This course is composed of ten lessons in video, text and written music (score and tablature). The lessons are based on songs I wrote in order to specifically address the difficulties that I detected in my experience watching other people play Bossa Nova. Since the lessons have been thought as real songs, what you get is a music material that is at the same time instructional AND artistic! Even though the material IS educational the music you’ll learn in the lessons by no means sound like technical exercises, it’s MUSIC!

For making it easy for you, every lesson will be presented in a very relaxed way, making use of text, videos and written music (sheet music and tablature).

As a bonus, I’ve written two complete songs specially for the course and will offer to you in video and written music.

Thank you very much for your interest and I’m really sure that this course will be of great value to you, I have put much love and effort making it!
