STARKVILLE, Miss.—Beginning Sept. 14, Mississippi State University will offer a series of 10 classes for adults who wish to learn the basics of playing the piano.
The 50-minute sessions begin at noon and are organized and coordinated by Jackie Edwards-Henry, professor of piano and piano pedagogy in the university’s nationally accredited Department of Music.
Only 10 spaces are available and will be filled on a first-come, first-reserved basis. Cost for the program is $170 for the classes plus materials.
After leading the first two classes, Edwards-Henry and a student intern will co-teach the remaining classes using materials Edwards-Henry has developed.
“I will critique the student intern and guide the overall progress of the class,” she said. “We define adult beginners as those who are 18 or older and have no prior experience with piano.”
Classes conclude Nov. 30. All sessions will take place in the Piano Lab of Building C of the music department complex on Morrill Road.
