Testimonials
"The Playalong Books are gifts from Brazilian Heaven.
They are essential for any player who wants to learn
about Choro; they
take us right into the heart of the
music." Paula Robison, Boston, MA
"The books are ultra-easy to use, and handsome at that.
Your company is
providing an essential resource for
anyone interested in developing their
skills and
exploring all that choro has to offer."
Julie Koidin

"This music really works. You get the choice of playing
along with a
professional Choro player or with the fun,
kicking accompaniment by
yourself. The nice thing is
these are real musicians who don't necessarily
play just
what is written, especially on the repeats, so you get
the
feel of playing something real. The book is nicely
printed and is spiral
bound so the pages lay flat."
John Gibson, Vancouver,
Canada
