There is an intensive choro workshop at Centrum in Port Townsend, WA. I think it's the last week of April. Many of the instructors fly up from Brasil - and are very supportive and knowledgable. Jovino Santos Neto is the flute instructor - he's a great pianist as well. I believe Anat Cohen will be there again for clarinet instruction.

Here on the left coast - I mainly play jazz piano - also with a group specializing in sambas and bossas. Starting to branch out into choro. I've been using iRP to practice melodica soloing. My chordal ear helps with the bass lines.

Cheers,
Larry
