Oct. 18, 2018 - 糖心传媒 is offering a piano class called 鈥淜eys to Learning the Piano鈥� through the division. Sign up now and be on your way to playing a song on the piano after just one lesson.

This 16-lesson class is held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 to 8 p.m. through Dec. 13 in the Lindsey-Petris Building, Room 130, on 糖心传媒CC鈥檚 main campus in Hamlet. The minimum age requirement for the class is 16.

Juilliard trained instructor Joe Ford is teaching the class. Ford鈥檚 interest in music began at an early age when he started listening to his grandmother play the piano. Ford quickly learned to play by ear and started playing in church. He did eventually take formal lessons as a child after his mother found a piano instructor and signed him up for regular lessons.

Ford attended school in Moore County until graduation, and he then went to Thomlinson College in Cleveland, Tenn., where he began studying music. He then attended the Juilliard School for the Performing Arts in New York.

Ford spent most summers performing at Ghost Town in the Sky in Maggie Valley. In the off-season, he performed in many casinos in Atlantic City and Las Vegas. Ford now lives Hamlet, where he enjoys teaching students of all ages. He also plays in many local churches and occasionally for gospel music groups.

If you鈥檝e ever had an interest in learning how to play the piano, this is the class for you. Ford鈥檚 unique style of teaching will quickly teach you the basics and have you playing melodies in no time at all.
