Learn to play any song on piano
Many students would rather play pop / rock songs than classical music. Books are available to teach this, but they are often over-simplified or too difficult to play. I am able to provide sheet music tailored to each student’s ability, or teach them the piece by ear or chord symbols. I also teach people how to teach themselves – how to adapt music written for a band to solo piano.
Where possible I teach people to play by ear, or try to make the most of whatever ability they have for this. I also use a different form of music notation based on chords. This is not only easier to pick up than traditional sheet music, but also allows greater freedom when performing.
Please listen to examples of popular piano from the list at the bottom of the page. All of the below were requests I received from pupils.
