Be Creative At Your Piano
Sitting down at the piano and playing a tune can be a natural thing to do, especially when you know how to play from a lead sheet. A melody and a few chord symbols are easy to read. Together, we will work out how to make the chords sound wonderful.
Lead sheets work for beginners and more advanced players. This online course has lessons for both Easy chords and More Advanced chords. You'll find tips on how to finger a melody quickly and if you want an extra challenge, tips to add extra notes under the melody. Yes, improvising!
Designed with adults and teens in mind. Come and play with me!
