The workshop will be from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Jan. 11 in the Cedar Room of the CC Building at the Sylvania Campus, 12000 S.W. 49th Ave. The tuition is $12 and a $25 fee is due at class to the instructor for a CD and workbook.Instructor Donn Rochlin (a professional musician, composer, and educator for over eighteen years) will demonstrate how to get more out of sheet music by reading less of it, and promises that each student who completes the workshop will be able to play any tune with both hands the very first week.
