“Instant Piano” – Held periodically throughout the year
If you yearn to experience the joy of playing piano, but you don’t want years of weekly lessons, this short course is for you. In Just a few hours you can learn enough secrets of the trade to make piano planning a part of your life. How is it done? Typical piano lessons teach you note reading, but piano professionals use chords. You will learn all the chords needed to play any pop song in this one session: any song, any style and any key. And you’ll get a healthy dose of insider secrets. If you already know your way around a keyboard a little, you know enough to enroll in this workshop. If not send an S.A.S.E. to the instructor: Michael McMillan, 120 Summer Lane, Covington, Ga. 30016. For more information, contact Michael at (678) 625-2775.
