Beginning Piano for Adults – FALL Semester (October start)

This class is designed for students with no experience with the piano. Basic piano technique and music notation will be taught in a nonjudgmental and encouraging environment.

Learn to play easy classical and popular songs, sight-reading, improvisation to accompany melodies and more! Build keyboard skills through note-reading, ear training, playing by ear, improvising, transposing and individual and ensemble playing. Plus, hang out at the keyboard with other adults – like you – who have decided it’s finally time to tickle those ivories. Access to a piano is required.
