District 196 Community Education

Join us for community singing (no music reading or theory, auditions or solos, all singers are welcome or come to listen). Enjoy vocal warm-up exercises, self-lymphatic massage, breathing techniques and three to four songs to boost your brain and mood.

Learn one of music’s deepest mysteries: how to play songs without relying on music. A very practical presentation of music theory that includes predicting chord progressions, learning from recordings and transposing -- all expressed in everyday language. This is an ideal follow-up to the Instant Piano for Hopelessly Busy People class and is open to anyone who has a basic understanding of chords on any instrument. Expand your musical horizons, free yourself from sheet-music dependence and be the life of the party! Prior experience with chords recommended. Fee includes the online book, online follow-up lessons, a recording of the class and an optional monthly question and answer session.
