They do not know how to add a nice accompaniment
They have trouble reading notes on the bass staff
They simply do not have enough time to learn how
Popular music has always excited people who want to express themselves, to have fun with their friends, to entertain at parties, or to impress other people.
They dream of playing the latest and greatest hits, the "golden oldies" and classic hits of pop and rock, country and western, jazz, gospel... or perhaps the great hymns, traditional folk songs, children's songs, you name it!
But for most people, music is a pastime, not a profession. With the hectic pace of life today, there just isn't time for hours of music practice.
Learning to play popular piano music with a full accompaniment written on the bass staff takes years of practice. But -- fortunately -- there is an easy way to enjoy playing popular music on your keyboard or piano, even if you are not great at sight reading the bass staff!
Introducing... "Playing Popular Music With Ease"
My name is Betty Wagner. I have been a music teacher for more than 30 years, teaching both classical and popular styles of piano. I have always tried to encourage my students to develop their own special styles of playing, but when it came to popular piano, I have seen so many students struggling to get beyond the basics.
There have always been two main obstacles that have been bothering my students:
ONE: There are loads of books of popular music on the market and heaps of sheet music on sale that have full accompaniments written on the bass staff. These beautiful chords and embellishments make nice pieces of popular music into a sensational and memorable playing and listening experience.
But these scores are too difficult for my students to play!
TWO: Most of the other simpler books of popular music on the market have been written for the guitar -- they have accompaniments written with guitar tabs that only guitar players can read.
Many of these books also have letters and symbols representing the guitar chords written above the treble line. These are fine if you are a guitar player but if you are studying piano or electric keyboard, how do you use them?
Based on my successes in popular piano teaching, I have found a fantastic technique that overcomes these problems. There was nothing else on the market like this for piano and keyboard students, so I thought I would write an ebook explaining this simple technique.
I have invested the time and done the testing with my students, so that YOU TOO can quickly learn to PLAY POPULAR SONGS AND THE MUSIC OF YOUR FAVORITE ARTISTS with flair!
Playing Popular Music With Ease
(this ebook will open up a whole new world of popular music for you!)
Here's how this ebook will help you play popular music:
If you can read a song's melody written on the treble staff, you will quickly learn how to translate the guitar chords shown in popular music books into attractive piano accompaniments.
If you can play melodies of your favorite popular music songs by ear on the piano or keyboard, you will learn how to accompany yourself using just the chords shown in popular music song books.
Whatever the case, you will learn simple techniques that will allow you, progressively, to master and embellish chords and play your favorite popular songs in your own unique style with ease!
