Instant Piano
This is the workshop that started it all. You can learn enough in this one workshop to play almost any song on the piano with two hands. Then go on to perfect your technique at home using a home-study CD. This is the system the pros use—chords, not tedious note reading. Total beginners should request a free pamphlet when they sign up for our newsletter.

Professional piano players don’t need sheet music, and neither will you after this one workshop. Learn how to pick out melodies on the piano—and then add the correct chords to make the music complete. You’ll get an extensive book plus a CD that has 15 sample songs for you to learn to play by ear. You won’t get this information from music teachers. It’s all the music theory you need to succeed, gently explained and simplified for the non-musician. You’ll be amazed at what you can do.

Piano by Ear
Whether you want to be able to jam with other musicians or just save money on sheet music, you’ll learn it all in this one class. Also suitable for guitar players and other chord instruments. “Instant Piano” (or prior chord knowledge) recommended before taking this course.

Shawna Masuda (Vocalist) – Born in Honolulu, Ms. Masuda has performed in over 20 island-wide musicals. Her most recent role was "Kim" in Miss Saigon which she reprised at the Four Seasons Theatre in Madison, WI.

A singer/actress whose style ranges from Pop, R&B, Country, Broadway and Classical, she also dabbles in a little bit of dance. Her resume includes leads in many well know Broadway shows and concert performances.
