| 2 Lessons - Learning to Improvise on Piano |
|
About 20 years ago I had a friend show me quickly how to make chords on a piano and improvise around them. Since then I've been fooling people who hear me play thinking that I took piano lessons. I can look up the basic chords (same thing a guitar player uses) to any song and play something that sounds good alone or to sing to. I've taught for fun other people over the years and they're always shocked at how easy it is to learn. I'm NOT going to show you how to read sheet music (traditional piano lessons) but instead how to improvise around chords (no previous music experience needed at all). Sample of me playing in this style: tiny.cc/dirkpiano We can do the two lessons at UUSS on the piano - after service or during the week sometime. Two lessons is honestly all you will need to learn this style and practice and play on your own! | 1 | 175 | 0 | 000200.0 | 200 | .00075E7 | 75 | |

Learn about America through the eyes and ears of immigrants. “In this brash new comedy, three young Vietnamese immigrants make their way through the bewildering landscape of 1970s America, a land filled with incomprehensible language, awkward customs, and a canvas as big as a Hollywood movie. At turns hilarious, profane, exuberant, and unexpectedly touching, Vietgone uses audacious dialogue, pop culture and an action-packed road trip to breathe life into the stories of these strangers in a strange land.” We thoroughly enjoyed this play 3 years ago in Ashland, Oregon, and are eager to see it again at Capital Stage. Includes beverage and snack at Capital Stage (1:30 to 2:00 p.m.), play (2:00 to 4:00 p.m.), CapChat with the actors (4:00 to 4:30 p.m.), and dinner afterwards (perhaps at nearby Tapa the World).

| Hoffman Academy Premium Membership for one year at hoffmanacademy.com. "Hoffman has a master’s degree in music, has studied early childhood education, and for years taught his very own Hoffman Academy of Music. My great grand kid loves him because of his sense of humor, gentle, relevant teaching method and simple games that engage them.” If you look at the cost of private piano lessons, a well-qualified teacher will charge around $100–$200 per month, and to become proficient at playing the piano usually takes a minimum of 5 years of study. This means that, at a minimum, a traditional piano education will cost about $6,000. | 1 | 200 | 1 | 000179.0 | 179 | .0004E7 | 40 | |
