Our LIVE and ONLINE classes are structured to cater to teens and adults of all levels. Similar to a yoga class, each piece or exercise is presented at varying difficulty levels, making it accessible to beginners and challenging for more advanced players.
How to Join:
When you sign up, you'll receive a Zoom link, along with all the worksheets and music scores relevant to the upcoming Jam session. We come together as a community on Zoom, where we encourage open discussions, answer questions, and, most importantly, make beautiful music on our pianos.
In the weeks between Live Jam sessions you can explore the score-of-the-month and you have full access to all of the other courses at Play Piano Chords Today ONLINE .
Our ultimate goal is to inspire you to play the piano more passionately, to spark your curiosity, and to create an environment where you feel comfortable asking and answering questions.
