Learn to play easy classical and popular songs, sight-reading, improvisation to accompany melodies and more! Build keyboard skills through note-reading, ear training, playing by ear, improvising, transposing and individual and ensemble playing. Plus, hang out at the keyboard with other adults – like you – who have decided it’s finally time to tickle those ivories.
