Piano Techniques for Modern Music

Starting with the body

This course is for people who have always wanted to play piano or keyboard but were unsure where to begin. Rather than jumping into pieces, it starts with posture, breathing and movement, the habits it treats as the foundation for building playing ability in a healthy way.

Learning through popular music

Exercises and examples are drawn from popular music, which gives the practice a practical purpose. The aim is to give you the fundamentals early so you can move between different musical styles rather than learning just one.

Suited to

• Absolute beginners on piano or keyboard
• Players who want to pick up contemporary styles
• Anyone who prefers exercises tied to music they already know

Because the course focuses on how you produce sound, it pairs well with any study of theory or notation you are doing alongside.
