Imagine sitting down at your piano and, instead of reaching for a book, you simply play from the heart. The “Modern Salon” is a warm, high-end intensive designed for busy adults and aspiring hosts who want to create a beautiful musical atmosphere in their own homes. We move past the frustration of traditional repetitive drills to focus on the “soul” of the music first. Over four private sessions, you will develop a personal repertoire of sophisticated Neo-soul and jazz-lite melodies that sound professional from the very first hour. This experience is about more than just notes; it is about reclaiming your creative time and building a lifelong skill that brings peace and elegance to your daily life.
Curriculum:
Session 1: The Personal Soundtrack We begin exactly where you want to be: making music. Laura guides you through a selection of rich, soulful chord progressions. You will learn to recognize the “shapes” of professional sound, focusing on the muscle memory and gentle touch required to make your piano sing. By the end of this session, you’ll have a signature piece you can play with confidence.
Session 2: Rhythm & Flow Now that your hands are comfortable, we add the “heartbeat.” We explore the relaxed, rhythmic “swing” that gives modern music its sophisticated feel. Laura shows you how to break away from rigid timing to create a performance that feels fluid and expressive, perfect for a quiet evening at home or a gathering with friends.
Session 3: Finding Your Voice In this session, we unlock the art of improvisation. You will be introduced to a specific “musical vocabulary” that allows you to create your own melodies on the fly. We focus on the joy of discovery—learning how to tell a small story through each note without ever worrying about hitting a “wrong” key.
Session 4: The Musical Foundation To complete your journey, we look “under the hood” of the songs you’ve mastered. Laura uses her 20+ years of experience to simplify the essentials of music theory and the Circle of Fifths. By connecting these fundamentals to the music you are already playing, you’ll gain the clarity needed to continue your musical growth with a sense of true accomplishment.
