Sedona Music Classes Offered

Sedona, AZ (July 6, 2011) – Sedona Parks and Recreation is pleased to offer two unique workshops for those in our community who are interested in learning to play a musical instrument. Let Instructor Craig Coffman guide you through the steps of learning to play a guitar and a piano.

Some music teachers may not want you to know this, but you don’t need years of weekly lessons to learn piano. In just a few hours, you can learn enough secrets of the trade to give you years of musical enjoyment. How do we do it? While regular piano teachers teach note reading, piano professionals use chords. And, you can learn all the chords you’ll need to play any song in this one session. Any song. Any style. Any key. If you can find middle C and know the meaning of “Every Good Boy Does Fine”, you already know enough to enroll in this workshop. The Instant Piano for Hopelessly Busy People workshop will be held Thursday, July 28 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the Sedona Teen Center located in Posse Grounds Park, 525-B Posse Ground Road in Sedona. The $25 registration fee must be paid in advance by registering with Parks and Recreation. In addition, there is a $28 materials fee for the workbook and practice DVD collected in class by the instructor. Everything covered in class is also covered on this DVD, which is designed for home practice and study.
