The Brazilian Virtual Choir Lab is a Latin vocal course designed by Mi La Musica School, located in Rio de Janeiro - Brazil and hosted in Australia by Great Southern A Cappella founder and choir director Diana May Clark.

The course is live from Rio and focuses on singing Brazilian standards such as The Girl from Ipanema, Corcovado, Samba do Avião, Aquarela do Brasil (Brazil), among many others. Learn the original lyrics in Portuguese, the history of the compositions and music styles direct from the source.

The Final Project culminates in the production of a video recording of the choir.

Course duration is 10 weeks with a break for 1 week after class 5. The first five weeks are an intensive 90 min length where students dive deep into learning the song for the virtual choir video project and audio recording. After the audio is recorded students will focus on filming the video; the last 5 classes are at a more relaxed and social pace singing through songs and immersing in all things 'musica brasileira'.

All classes are recorded (zoom) so if you miss one you can watch it later and catch up at your own pace.

This course is for amateur and professional musicians alike, music lovers, teachers, choir conductors, vocalists and instrumental music students who want access to enjoying, understanding and feeling confident about sharing and performing Brazilian music!
