Instructora Gatinha watches with glee</p></div> <p>People worry too much about sounding bad.</p> <p>Music is hard, and it’s really hard to sounds good, which is such a small part of sounding cool. Willing to sound bad is a hump that must be stumbled over in order to start this journey. Also, capoeira music has a very unique take on music progression.</p> <p>The teaching tends to be lax.</p> <p>It’s more of <em>repeat after me</em> rather than <em>work on these songs</em> or <em>work on these scales.</em> Even like with other percussion instruments, the rhythms aren’t written (and the process of those notes are not standardized between capoeira groups.) The learning process isn’t structured and each group has their own take on music.</p> <p>This isn’t an impossible task though.</p> <p>Like most things in capoeira, it takes a lot of effort. Many attempts and the consistent reps that drive success in learning. It requires a stubbornness and willingness to sound silly. Most of capoeira requires you to sound and look like a fool to really understand what’s going on.</p> <p>The funny part is how the required foolishness leads to all the cool stuff.</p> <p> </p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> <span class="cat-links"> <span class="entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links">Posted in</span> <a href="http://www.capoeiramaranhao.com/category/blog/" rel="category tag">Blog</a> </span> <span class="sep"> | </span> <span class="tag-links"> <span class="entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-tag-links">Tagged</span> <a href="http://www.capoeiramaranhao.com/tag/music/" rel="tag">#Music</a>, <a href="http://www.capoeiramaranhao.com/tag/ambition/" rel="tag">Ambition</a>, <a href="http://www.capoeiramaranhao.com/tag/stubbornness/" rel="tag">Stubbornness</a> </span> </footer> </article> <ol class="other-recent-posts"> <li class="entry-title"> <a href="http://www.capoeiramaranhao.com/practice-it/" rel="bookmark">Practice It</a> <span class="comments-link"> <a href="http://www.capoeiramaranhao.com/practice-it/#respond"><span class="leave-reply">Leave a reply</span></a> </span> </li> <li class="entry-title"> <a href="http://www.capoeiramaranhao.com/skills-dawg/" rel="bookmark">Skills, Dawg</a> <span class="comments-link"> <a href="http://www.capoeiramaranhao.com/skills-dawg/#respond"><span class="leave-reply">Leave a reply</span></a> </span> </li> <li class="entry-title"> <a href="http://www.capoeiramaranhao.com/film-it/" rel="bookmark">Film It</a> <span class="comments-link"> <a href="http://www.capoeiramaranhao.com/film-it/#respond"><span class="leave-reply">Leave a reply</span></a> </span> </li> <li class="entry-title"> <a href="http://www.capoeiramaranhao.com/share-it/" rel="bookmark">Share It</a> <span class="comments-link"> <a href="http://www.capoeiramaranhao.com/share-it/#respond"><span class="leave-reply">Leave a reply</span></a> </span> </li> </ol> </section> <div class="widget-area" role="complementary"> <aside id="nav_menu-3" class="widget widget_nav_menu"><h3 class="widget-title">Resources</h3><div class="menu-lyrics-container"><ul id="menu-lyrics" class="menu"><li id="menu-item-791" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-791"><a href="http://www.capoeiramaranhao.com/resources-2/lyrics-currently-swfl/">Lyrics (Currently SWFL)</a></li> <li id="menu-item-793" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page current-menu-item page_item page-item-727 current_page_item menu-item-793"><a href="http://www.capoeiramaranhao.com/resources-2/blog/">Blog</a></li> </ul></div></aside> </div> </div> </div> </div> <footer id="colophon" role="contentinfo"> <div id="supplementary" class="two"> <div id="first" class="widget-area" role="complementary"> <aside id="nav_menu-5" class="widget widget_nav_menu"><h3 class="widget-title">Resources</h3><div class="menu-lyrics-container"><ul id="menu-lyrics-1" class="menu"><li class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-791"><a href="http://www.capoeiramaranhao.com/resources-2/lyrics-currently-swfl/">Lyrics (Currently SWFL)</a></li> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page current-menu-item page_item page-item-727 current_page_item menu-item-793"><a href="http://www.capoeiramaranhao.com/resources-2/blog/">Blog</a></li> </ul></div></aside> </div> <div id="second" class="widget-area" role="complementary"> <aside id="calendar-4" class="widget widget_calendar"><div id="calendar_wrap" class="calendar_wrap"><table id="wp-calendar"> <caption>April 2024</caption> <thead> <tr> <th scope="col" title="Monday">M</th> <th scope="col" title="Tuesday">T</th> <th scope="col" title="Wednesday">W</th> <th scope="col" title="Thursday">T</th> <th scope="col" title="Friday">F</th> <th scope="col" title="Saturday">S</th> <th scope="col" title="Sunday">S</th> </tr> </thead> <tfoot> <tr> <td colspan="3" id="prev"><a href="http://www.capoeiramaranhao.com/2019/08/">« Aug</a></td> <td class="pad"> </td> <td colspan="3" id="next" class="pad"> </td> </tr> </tfoot> <tbody> <tr><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>3</td><td>4</td><td>5</td><td>6</td><td>7</td> </tr> <tr> <td>8</td><td>9</td><td>10</td><td>11</td><td>12</td><td>13</td><td>14</td> </tr> <tr> <td>15</td><td>16</td><td>17</td><td>18</td><td>19</td><td>20</td><td>21</td> </tr> <tr> <td>22</td><td>23</td><td id="today">24</td><td>25</td><td>26</td><td>27</td><td>28</td> </tr> <tr> <td>29</td><td>30</td> <td class="pad" colspan="5"> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div></aside> </div> </div> <div id="site-generator"> <a href="https://wordpress.org/" title="Semantic Personal Publishing Platform">Proudly powered by WordPress</a> </div> </footer> </div> <script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.capoeiramaranhao.com/wp-includes/js/wp-embed.min.js?ver=4.7.28'></script> </body> </html>
