Group Lessons
Would you like to learn piano and make new friends? If so, then a group class is for you. T.J.’s introductory group class, entitled “Piano Made Easy”, is a great first step towards lifetime musical enjoyment. Taught with a group of small, portable keyboards, the class teaches music reading, chords, rhythm and basic piano technique. Students will learn from materials developed by T.J. that include songs such as “Angels We Have Heard on High”, “Love Me Tender”, “Ode to Joy” and many more popular melodies. This class can be taught in a group of up to seven people and is designed for beginning piano students. If you have previous training in piano but don’t remember much, then this may be a good class for you as well. Although the class can be taught to any age level, it is better not to mix children and adults. Children who wish to take this class must have a parent with them at all times. “Piano Made Easy” can be taught at almost any location since the keyboard lab is portable. Since the inception of this class, T.J. has taught this course at churches, in his home and at community education programs. The class is taught in one hour installments over a seven week period.

In addition to “Piano Made Easy”, T.J. teaches a number of other group piano classes based on interest. These classes range from 2 to 5 students and usually focus on a particular style of music such as jazz, hymns or rock.
