Be Creative At Your Piano


Sitting down at the piano and playing a tune can be a natural thing to do, especially when you know how to play from a lead sheet. A melody and a few chord symbols are easy to read. Together, we will work out how to make the chords sound wonderful.

Beethoven's Pathetique piano sonata has a beautiful 2nd movement that is advanced and difficult to play musically. With a lead sheet and a few tweaks, beginners can play this melody with great musicality. More advanced pianists will discover the magic hidden in all the notes. Lead sheets are cleaner and easier to understand the structure of a piece.

This online course has lessons for both Easy chords and More Advanced chords. You'll find tips on how to finger a melody quickly and if you want an extra challenge, tips to add extra notes under the melody. Yes, improvising!

Designed with adults and teens in mind. Come and play with me!
