Seminars
T.J. frequently presents one night music seminars at various community education programs, activity centers, and country clubs. These workshops tackle a particular musical topic and are designed for those interested in learning music, but who aren't able to take private or group lessons. If you are interested in booking a seminar for your group (a group of 5 is required), then please choose from one of the workshops listed below and contact T.J.

Instant Piano (for Hopelessly Busy People)

Some music teachers may not want you to know this, but you don’t need years of weekly lessons to learn piano. In just half a day you can learn enough to give you
years of musical enjoyment, whether entertaining others or just for your own amusement. The traditional approach teaches note reading, while professional pianists use chords. Here, you will learn all the chords you’ll need to play any song in this one session. Any song, Any style, Any Key. You’ll then perfect your technique at home, using an exclusive CD or cassette provided by the instructor. It’s easy, fun, and musically correct! If you already know your way around the keyboard a little, you know enough to enroll in this workshop. If not, a free pamphlet will be provided that explains the basics.

Songwriting and Composing
Have you ever wanted to write a song? Have you ever had a melody in your head, but didn’t know how to write it down? In this class, you will learn the basics of writing and arranging music. The class is open to all levels of musicians, regardless of experience or interest. Topics include melody, harmony, rhythm, writing for instruments, and music publishing. Feel free to bring along your instrument or music that you’ve written.

Children’s Piano Camp
If you have ever wondered if piano lessons are right for your child, then this is the class for you. In one evening, children will have the opportunity to play music games, learn basic piano concepts, and play on electronic keyboards. The class will also discuss the different options for piano study including private lessons, group lessons, and finding the best teacher for your child. All children must be between the ages of 7 and 11, and be accompanied by a parent.
