Miamibloco Samba! Bateria Academy

1

The Miamibloco Bateria Academy is your entry point into the world of bloco percussion and into the heartbeat of our community.

This is where it starts. Your first step toward playing at Saideira Sundays and joining Bateria Saideira.

Yes, all levels of musical experience must start at Bateria Academy

We don’t just show up, we come ready. Before each in-person session, you’ll review the video materials so we can hit the ground playing, locked in together. That shared commitment is what builds our sound, our energy, and our connection as one bateria.

If you’re ready to grow, show up, and feel what it’s like to play inside a human-made sound system, you’re in the right place.
