Class Description

The 88-Key Club emphasizes the enjoyment of learning for its members while sharing songs in a group setting. Students will perform a song they pick each week, then receive constructive feedback from the instructor and their classmates on their performance. 

Topics covered in this class include: chord shapes, sight reading, rhythm, performance, the power of positive feedback, how to handle making a mistake and how to play though it, how to match vocal pitch with the chords, and how to overcome challenges and disappointments through effective practice habits. 

Here's how a class session works! Each student will take a turn performing and receiving feedback. This continues around "the circle" until all the students have had a chance to share. I will wrap up after each student with guidance on how to perform the song more effectively and address any challenges in the student's technique or knowledge of the instrument. I am very patient and energetic. I teach in a kind and supportive way, stressing enjoyment and loving what you do while building discipline and character in my students. 

Students with experience should bring a song to share. Beginners are also welcome and will use their individual class time for the first month learning the basics. Most students will be playing a song within the first month of instruction. 

I hope to see you soon!
