Suz shares an expansive approach to playing with the language of music (on piano, voice, guitar & other instruments) by integrating diverse learning styles—students explore how to speak and understand music by ear (oral tradition), how to read and write it (written tradition), and how to use chord theory to understand how songs are made.
