Jess of Sit and Play Piano w Robin of ZRE Music Studio for the first ever Sit and Play | Level 1 workshop series at their location in NE Portland 🌈🎹

Week 1 was a MAJOR success 😏

COMMUNICATE | Learn the language of musicians for communicating musical ideas.

it's as easy as 1-2-3.. literally. learn how to talk about chord progressions in a certain Key to call it out for your friends/fam/bandmates: joyful jamming and creative collaboration, here we come!

an amazing first session of our Level 1 summer workshop 🎹🫶 as an educator, I live for the aHA moments!!

OOOO baby we've got joy in July! If you're free Wednesday nights (starting this week!) and want to feel empowered and easeful at the piano, PLEASE join us from 7:30-9:00pm in my homey downstairs studio for a four-week series taking you through my Level 1 Sit and Play Piano curriculum. In it, we'll cover the *very* basics, but not like you've seen it before! We'll focus on patterns and relationships, learning how to play in a certain Key to improvise and compose, read chord charts to sing along to pop songs, and speak the language of musicians to collaborate with others. this is music outside the lines: traditional music notation and STRESS BEGONE.
