You’ll start by learning the melody and pairing it with simple root notes in the left hand. This establishes the form of My Romance and builds coordination without overcomplicating anything.
These 6-week Piano Intensives are focused, step-by-step deep dives designed to help you make real progress on one specific skill or tune. Each intensive combines concise recorded lessons with clear practice guidance and live support, so you’re not just watching—you’re actually applying what you learn. You’ll build confidence, develop practical tools you can use immediately, and walk away with a solid, playable result at the piano instead of unfinished ideas.
