Audience: All ages, all levels
Content: Forró is a traditional music and dance from the North Eastern part of Brazil. Forro instruments are the triangle, the accordion and the zabumba (big flat drum) and sometimes also the pandeiro (kind of a drum). Most of the time, the musicians also sing.

Hello,
Concerning the prerequisites, is it necessary to know how to make the chords M, min and 7 with the left hand, or is it also necessary to be able to make them with the right hand?
Thank you.
