Testimonials

• “The beginner berimbau camp has help me to learn the basics the correct way. The class establishes a solid foundation in learning how to play the berimbau and helps erase bad habits picked up along the way.” -Dona, Santa Barbara, California

• “Lagosta's music class is a great way to learn capoeira music. The benefit of his class is not only do you get a music teacher who has broken the music down into a digestible form but you also get a dedicated capoeirista who keeps the traditions of capoeira. The class is particularly good at making the music understandable because he's described the various toques into music notation which makes it easy to follow (again: music teacher).” -Andy, Hawai’i
