Instant Piano for Hopelessly Busy
People
Some
music teachers may not want you to know this, but you don’t
need years of weekly lessons to learn piano. In just a few
hours, you can learn enough secrets of the trade to give you
years of musical enjoyment. How do we do it? While regular
piano teachers teach note reading, piano professionals use
chords. And you can learn all the chords you’ll need to play
any song in this one session. Any song. Any style. Any key.
If you can find middle C and know the meaning of Every Good
Boy Does Fine, you already know enough to enroll in this
workshop.
Prerequisite: Ability to read the treble clef.
Total beginners can download a free pamphlet on
reading the treble clef on our website-
www.justonceclasses.com (Click
on classes - then piano
- to access this information).
A materials fee
of $25 for workbook and practice CD will be collected in
class by the instructor.
Topics include:
How chords work in a song
How to get more out of sheet music by reading less of it
How to form the three main types of chords
How to handle different keys and time signatures
How to avoid “counting”
How to simplify over 12,000 complex chords
