Piano Lessons Kentucky

Instruments: Piano, Music, Keyboard

This process involves the student choosing the song and learning how to play it solely by listening to it and figuring out the chords.

Throughout my high school and college years, I played in a few church bands and was presented with many opportunities for solo performances. Oftentimes, the music I played during services and at events was arranged by myself. Although I am classically trained, my musical strengths include playing by ear and creating my own arrangements of my favorite songs. I also love to study music theory and history, especially the history of jazz. Read More
