Janet Murray has ongoing adult piano keyboard classes in a supportive, enthusiastic group environment in Walnut Creek, California.   Her students become self-confident in their piano playing -- and performing skills.  Theory, interpretation, style, and technique are included as part of musical development. Students learn time and key signatures, note reading and chords by playing familiar tunes from classical to spiritual to rock.   Time is set aside in class for practice. This is a chance to learn basic piano keyboard and use it to play loved songs for family and friends' celebrations.
