Learn to play piano

Such a wonderful instrument and absolute cornerstone of music education. Learning your way around a piano is essential to musical growth and a practical way to learn and begin to apply music theory. Piano is approachable for younger students of at least Kindergarten age. All Guitar and bass students WILL receive limited piano instruction as part of their general musicianship training.
