There’s often a gateway style that leads classical musicians to do more. For me the gateway was rock music during high school that primed the pump to be open to modern jazz, composition, arranging, and more.

Some styles are easier for classical musicians to access and assimilate due to the relative familiarity of rhythms, harmonies, or melodies. Jazz, with it’s reliance on triplet-based swing, complex harmonies, and unfamiliar melodies, can be difficult for classical musicians.

Bossas and Sambas, like Rock, with their reliance on duple feel, may be a more logical next step to follow on Rondos, Allegrettos, and Allegros; It still offers plenty of challenges, which are complimentary to those found in rock, funk, bluegrass and other styles.

That’s my theory, and it’s why I think Bossas, Sambas, and Choros are perfect for classically trained musicians to gain fluency and creativity.

We’ll be updating the course in the upcoming months. Join the course now to receive all of this material as well as FREE content updates.
