Leadsheet Workshop Coming Up 10/23/05
|
Tired of paying someone to transpose your sheet music for you?
Singer, pianist and music educator, Ted Muzio, knows how often singers need leadsheets in their own keys, whether for auditions, open mics, or just personal use. To fill that need, he's created a workshop to teach singers to transpose songs, even if they have no music theory training!
In this 3-hour workshop, the student will learn an easy, step-by-step approach to transposing a tune into his or her own key. Materials, such as transposing wheel and music paper, will be provided!
Sign up for this helpful, money-saving workshop today and get on the road to having more control over your music.
