Open to all experience levels, this class is perfect for singers wanting to accompany themselves and songwriters eager to bring their music to life. We'll explore chord theory, learn how to add chord progressions to your melodies, experiment with rhythms, and develop engaging arrangements. You'll also learn how to read chord charts and lead sheets, enabling you to play and sing your favorite covers. For instructor Serenity Fisher, these skills have been invaluable as a songwriter, musical theatre composer, and hired musician for weddings, freelance church gigs and special events. The ability to accompany herself on piano has not only enhanced her professional work but also brought her immense joy whenever she sits at the piano to play her favorite songs!
