Questions
Yes. You do not need to read music or have taken lessons before. We can begin with the keyboard, rhythm, comfortable hand position, and short pieces, then build from there.
We will find out what you remember and which skills need refreshing. Tell Joe what you used to play and what you would enjoy now so lessons can build on your experience.
