Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!

Welcome to our next Study Group — a collaborative, peer-led dive into a beautiful piece of music over the course of two weeks.

This time, we’re diving into the methodical riches of Brouwer’s Estudios Sencillos 1–10!

This is not a course or a class — it’s a space for mutual exploration, discussion, and shared progress. I’ll be learning the piece alongside you (again — it’s been a while!), and I’m excited to discover new things together.

What to expect:
Over the next two weeks, we’ll focus on:

• Fingerings and technique

• Methodical background

• Interpretation and expressive choices

• Your own questions and perspectives!

We’ll also meet for two live Zoom sessions to share progress, chat about challenges, and nerd out over all things Brouwer.

How to participate:

1. Sign up through the Forum

2. Grab your score of the Estudios Sencillos

3. Introduce yourself below!

5. Share your thoughts, ideas, or a clip of your playing
