How to play a Samba piece
• Learn the ‘main groove’ which is used through most of the piece
• To start the piece there is usually an ‘intro’, often a call and response with the leader
• To end the piece use an ‘outro’ which can be the same as the ‘intro’
• To make the piece more interesting use one or more ‘breaks’. These are different rhythms that everyone plays together for one or more bars in the middle of the piece.
