This is an exclusive two hour in depth session with Howard Francis! - he keeps the class to a small number (max 8 people) so that he can spend more time talk to you indiviually and you can contribute more to the class. Howard will share his experiences of life on tour and how his keyboard skills have developed. He then will show you new ways of playing chords by demonstrating through a popular song. He shows how to add 'juice' to the song without interferring with the melody, how to use tritones, how important voicings are, and the different ways you can interpret a song. There will be opportunities for you to try out what he teaches with Howard giving you individual guidence - but of course there is no pressure to do this! So if you prefer just to watch then that is fine too!
