As seen on GOOD MORNING AMERICA: Learning to play the piano need not be a tortuous regimen of scales, exercises, note-reading, counting and theory. Take a few entertaining hours to learn how to play the piano the way the pros do -- with chords. Save time and money with this innovative approach that shows you the easy way to play several songs right in class -- then develop your techniques at home using the 60-minute class workbook and CD provided by the Instructor. This is a beginning course in chord piano that also works for those with who play traditional piano -- we use the same learning techniques as the Public Television program “Play Piano in a Flash.” Topics include: How chords work in music, musicians’ “shortcuts,” how to “speed read” sheet music, how to derive all major, minor, and seventh chords, how to handle different keys and time signatures, simple techniques of “counting,” and how to substitute for 12,000 complex chords. Join us for the fun, effective class, and you’ll be playing your favorite songs soon after this one session! Future Refresher Courses Free.

The phlebotomist facilitates the collection and transportation of laboratory specimens, and is often the patient’s only contact with the medical laboratory.
