By Vina Lacerda
“Pandeirada Brasileira - Pocket Edition” (Book & DVD) contains material from the previous edition of this book along with some new content added and is targeted to beginner and intermediate level students. The idea is to facilitate a fast and dynamic learning process by directing study through the most essential rhythms and exercises needed to dominate the instrument. Choro, polca, marcha-racho, partido alto, valsa, baião, xote, maxixe, frevo, marchinha and samba are some of the rhythms discussed. The material follows the "play-along" format of the previous edition. Text includes history of the pandeiro and instrument building explanations and photos.

• DVD included with all the exercises and rhythms contained in the book
• 54 pages, in English & Portuguese
• Smaller "booklet" format nicely fits into pandeiro cases so you can easily take it with you
