Feedback from previous workshops

 

Absolutely loved the workshop weekend with JP and Mika. Workshop format works really well, a lot of content covered in a short space of time. Delivered in a fun but challenging way. Especially like learning songs (or trying to!) along with the rhythms.

 

We'd love to have you back in the future !

I really enjoyed the workshop, from the start it was great fun, and JP made the task of learning easy to understand. :-)

JP's style of teaching makes learning Samba accessible to anyone. He creates a great ensemble throughout the day but also finds a way to make sure people get some individual attention whilst playing as part of the Bateria. Id highly recommend attending a workshop from J P
