Piano Your Teachers
Never Taught You (ages 18–up)

Todd Walker has taught more than 30,000 students—

from beginners to those with years of lessons—

to play the piano in just one day. Now, in this workshop,

he will show you why his students proclaim “I've learned

more in three hours than I did in three years of lessons.”

Todd will teach you 72 chords, 156 hand positions and how

to read music from lead sheets and fake books. You will

learn how to play any popular song in any key and the tools

of the trade that will make you sound like a pro. Then you'll be

able to master your technique by using Todd's exclusive audio

CD and study book. This class also prepares you to take

Todd's other Piano workshops.

If you can read the notes C, D, E, F, G, A, B, you know

enough to enroll. If not, send a SASE to Piano Magic,

P.O. Box 1694, Rocklin, CA 95677, for a free pamphlet.
