Adult (13 & up)

Intermediate Adult Group Piano/Keyboard

This 8 week class is intended for students who have a knowledge of music, but have a low (or no!) level of keyboard skills. We will focus on practice techniques, unique to the piano, which allow for rapid mastery of two or more lines of music at the same time, and also on using the keyboard to quickly create and play harmonies. Class size is limited to 6 students, aged 13-adult. Students must have regular access to either a piano or an electric keyboard (48 key minimum, full sized keys). I have a limited number of keyboards available for free summer loans.

Activities: Practice techniques for mastering multiple lines of music, played at the same time Easily deciphering music notation on the Grand Staff (both clefs) Using arpeggios to bring out the resonance of the piano Quickly creating harmonies using the keyboard Playing from "Fake Books" Improvisation
