Have you always wanted to learn to play the piano or come back to it after learning the basics years ago? Join in with other adults in the same boat, and tackle the keys together in this introductory course. Learn familiar songs in a relaxed environment, gaining technical and music reading skills along the way. Teaching is individualized and suited for absolute beginners to players with beginner-level experience.
