This month's Live Lesson: "A Million Dreams" from The Greatest Showman

I have created a new arrangement for this song from The Greatest Showman (original reference here), which fits on one page (yay!) and is more beginner-friendly. Excited for the first lesson of the year!

Question: Would folks be interested in a vocal lesson for this song? I feel like it deserves one. Comment below!

If you're free before the lesson begins and would like to meet and chat with other Patrons on Zoom, join me before class for a Zoom Social from 2pm to 2:25pm Hawaii Time.  (We'll end the Zoom before the lesson, and still go to YouTube for the lesson).

Please comment if you're planning to join the Zoom Social.  Hope to see you there!

A note about our monthly Live Lessons

My goal is to teach and arrange a lesson that is interesting for all levels. I will walk through the lesson by starting with beginner-level strumming, and gradually layer on more challenging options for advanced players.

I encourage you to play at your level, and embrace your own pace of incrementally leveling up. You can re-watch the lesson as many times as you like. Grasp the basics on the first go-round, and each time you review, you'll pick up new tips and techniques. You can use this method to become a better student and better learner - by building more awareness and more patience. :)
