Learning how to play includes physical "muscle memory" technique and the knowledge of how music works. We will get you started by applying a "hands on" approach to create muscle memory. All the while including music theory as you practice. You will begin to understand the framework of chord structure and its application so you can play anything. This is not brain surgery :-) there are only 12 notes
