NATCHITOCHES – Northwestern State University’s Office of Electronic Learning and Global Education will present Instant Piano for Hopelessly Busy People on Tuesday, June 10 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
The class will be taught via Zoom and is for those 13 and up. The fee is $85.
In just a few hours, those in the class can learn enough secrets of the trade to provide years of musical enjoyment. Participants will learn to play piano the way professionals do using chords. Since this class is being held online with Zoom, students will be able to sit at their piano or keyboard at home and take this course with no pressure at all. And since this course includes an online book and online follow-up video lessons, those in the class will be able to continue practice and study on their own. An optional periodic online question and answer session and recording of the class is also included.
Topics to be covered include how chords work in a song, how to get more out of sheet music by reading less of it and how to form the three main types of chords. Other topics in the class include how to handle different keys and time signatures, how to avoid counting and how to simplify over 12,000 complex chords.
