Bernardo Aguiar's workshops explore the pandeiro's vast rhythmic potential and the rich landscape of Brazilian musical traditions, bridging traditional grooves with global influences. He redefines the pandeiro as a "pocket drum set," showcasing its versatility through bass, mid, and treble tones that extend beyond Brazilian rhythms into universal musical contexts.
Through live demonstrations and ensemble practice, students are encouraged to experiment with the pandeiro's limitless sonic possibilities and explore Brazil's striking polyrhythms, regional influences, and rhythmic fusion. The workshop engages both those seeking to specialize in Brazilian grooves and musicians integrating these techniques into diverse styles.
Bernardo applies the Modern Brazilian Technique, an approach he brings to his acclaimed projects like Pife Muderno and Pandeiro Repique Duo. His hands-on teaching has inspired students worldwide, with workshops held at The Juilliard School, Berklee Valencia, Codarts University, City University London, and conservatories across Denmark, Zanzibar, and beyond.
