Class Description:

Have you ever wanted to sit down and play a tune on the piano for your family or friends? By the end of this class, you should be able to do just that. We’ll begin by using an open-source program called MuseScore. MuseScore helps teach you the notation needed to read music when you type in a song. There are also free apps available to help you out If you need to learn how to read notes. After you learn a bit doing a song or two with MuseScore, you should be ready to sit down at a keyboard to play a simple tune.

If you’ve ever felt the urge to strum a guitar and create beautiful melodies, you’re in luck! Just like learning to play the piano, mastering the guitar is within reach with the right tools and guidance. Once you’ve grasped the basics, incorporating effects like the best chrous pedals can add depth and richness to your guitar playing, enhancing your sound and captivating your audience. Stay Tuned: Guitar Blog offers a wealth of information on selecting the perfect chorus pedal to add depth and richness to your guitar playing.

Just like learning to play the piano, mastering the guitar is a rewarding experience that opens up a world of possibilities for self-expression and creativity. So grab your guitar, explore the vast array of resources available, and let your musical journey begin.

This class is for those who don’t know much about how to play. If you feel you fit into this category, then this class is for you. A laptop is recommended. Installation of MuseScore from musescore.org can be done beforehand, and is recommended, but is not required.
