Kadee Henderson Finch: Keyboard Workshop
Sat September 26, 2026 @ 9:30 am – 11:00 am
Bring your keyboards or just yourself as this talented pianist/educator will reference Bach, Beethoven, and Chopin; and teach a simple version (meant for beginners) of their styles, such as broken chords and steady patterns for Bach. Participants will learn to play these chords and patterns themselves, and then hear a short demo of a real piece by these individual composers that shows these concepts so they can tie it all together. Hearing about composers or listening to pieces is great, but digging in is better.
