Play Yourself a Merry Little Piano

Adults · Learning
Many adult learners get discouraged by reading musical notation; it's one of the most difficult languages in the world! This class will take some of the pressure off by teaching lead sheets, which require you to read only one note at a time and give you the freedom to add your own ideas and layers of texture/difficulty as you see fit. You will learn about chords, reading the treble clef and adding riffs and bits of improvisation. It is recommended that you purchase a fakebook for this series (in the key of "C") so that you can take what you learn in class and apply them to your favorite songs!
