| 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 | 000150.0 | 150 | .0005E7 | 50 | |

| Big Meadow to Dardanelles Lake |
| Our hike begins at the Big Meadow Trailhead south of Tahoe. We climb briefly to Big Meadow, usually bursting with wildflowers in early summer. Beyond the meadow we continue up through a forest of pines and aspens, cross a few small streams then descend to glacially carved Dardanelles Lake. At the lake we'll enjoy a "gourmet" trail lunch, a nap if you'd like, and it's a great place for swimming with sandy beaches and granite slabs for drying off. This hike is 7.8 miles and described as "moderate" (also "prepare to perspire"). Our trailhead elevation is 7300' with a gain of 900' during the hike. Lunch is included. | 6 | 50 | -1 | 000035.0 | 35 | .00025E7 | 25 | 7/25/20 8:30 AM |
