NATCHITOCHES – Northwestern State University’s Office of Electronic Learning and Global Engagement will present a “Piano by Ear” class on Saturday, Nov. 21 from 9 a.m. until 11:30 a.m.
The class will be taught via Zoom. The fee is $85
The fee includes an online book, access to online follow-up lessons, a recording of the class, and an optional monthly question-and-answer session. The course is partly lecture/demonstration and partly hands-on instruction and is for those age 13 and over.
The class will teach participants how to play songs without relying on sheet music. This practical presentation of music theory covers predicting chord progressions, learning from recordings and transposing—all explained in everyday language.
This class is an ideal follow-up to the “Instant Piano” course and is open to anyone with a basic understanding of chords on any instrument. Those taking the class will be able to expand their musical horizons and break free from dependence on sheet music. Prior experience with chords is recommended.
