• Keyboard: Ability to play basic chords and simple melodic lines with both hands, following song structures.
• Other Instruments: Ability to play fundamental notes and rhythms while maintaining a consistent tempo. 

This course is not designed for absolute beginners on an instrument, as the pace requires foundational skills.
