What to expect:
Breaking down pop music for your students
The vast majority of pop recordings are made without the aid of musical notation. In fact many pop musicians (most famously the Beatles) do not read music at all. Eric will break down the approach and demonstrate the techniques that have allowed players to achieve great variety and musicality even with the most basic of harmonic progressions.
Repertoire Solutions
Finding the balance – finding pop/jazz repertoire books that are pedagogically designed for the developing piano student, complete with extensive use of dynamics, articulation, fingering, etc. Eric will also demonstrate the material with the optional audio accompaniments (all orchestrated by himself) and show the many musical benefits that come with such use.
