People are absolutely mystified by piano players who can just sit down at the piano and without having to refer to anything written down- they are able to pick out songs "by ear". In reality, playing "by ear" as an easily learned skill and in this class we teach you about all the secrets these musicians know that enable them to do this. This is a very practical presentation of music theory that includes predicting chord progressions, learning from recordings, and transposing-all expressed in everyday language. This is an ideal follow-up to the Chords are Key for Piano Class class and is open to anyone who has a basic understanding of chords on any instrument.

Topics include:

How to find the starting note

How the melody helps you find the correct chords

I was in your “Instant Piano class on Nov 18th at Champlin Park High School and enjoyed the class very much. I registered at the last minute and it was the best last minute decision I’ve ever made. I’m confident I will be able to play Silent Night for my family this Christmas.

I attended your "PIANO FOR HOPELESSLY BUSY PEOPLE" workshop at Scottsdale Community College this last September. I'm brand new to the experience of learning to play the piano and I could not have gotten a better launch into the experience. Before I walked into your class I wondered if at my age (65) I would ever be able to learn what I believed to be all the complexities of the piano and reading the myriad in sheet music. When I left your workshop after the 3 hour session I felt confident, comfortable and enthusiastic about actually hearing music from my fingertips soon. Not only was the material presented simplified and easy to understand, but as important, your method of presentation and communication of the basics, with no sense of "talking down" to us beginners was one of the best classroom workshops I've ever experienced. I was an attorney for over 38 years, and attended 15-20 hours of workshop/seminars each year. I believe I learned more about the subject of the workshop from yours than any other I have attended. Thanks for your help and your guidance. If you have any other workshops in the future, I would certainly appreciate knowing so that I can continue to take advantage of your expertise."

I just want to thank you for teaching your piano classes. I took the one you had in Green Valley and I’m thrilled with how many songs I can now play. I am almost 70 years old and never thought I would be able to play the piano. Thanks so very much.

Hi Craig My daughter Sydney was in your guitar class yesterday. She went very reluctantly (very, very reluctantly). She asked for and got a guitar for Christmas and played with it very infrequently. I bought CDs, DVDs and books on playing. She put them all away and that was it! The guitar was a dust collecting room ornament. So I insisted she take the class just to get the basics. Well, when I finally pried the guitar from her hands about 11:30 last night, she was a guitar player! She hasn’t put it down since she left the class and she immediately asked me to sign her up for your piano class. Thanks for lighting my child’s enthusiasm! I’m sure we’ll be seeing you at a piano class someday soon!
