Piano seminar boasts results

Ever dreamed of tickling the ivories?

Newport Beach Parks and Recreation will bring in Craig Coffman to teach the nationally renowned “How To Play Piano in Three Hours” workshop from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Oct. 27.

Known as “Instant Piano For Hopelessly Busy People,” the class teaches how to play without knowing how to read music.

“While the classical approach stresses discipline and precision in playing, this approach stresses enjoyment and getting great sounds early on,” Coffman said. “While precision is vital for classical music, this ‘pain-free’ method is more suitable for pop music of all kinds, from Broadway to rhythm and blues.”
