A Little Pop Music for Piano

Students just beginning to learn an instrument naturally want to advance quickly beyond simple melodies to something more "popular", but beginning techniques are not enough to allow them to enjoy this type of music as much as they would when singing it. This set of pieces is meant to help bridge that gap, step by step. The pieces gradually progress from very easy to medium advanced, constantly teaching something new. Articulation, phrasing, rhythm, and harmony are all addressed, with special attention paid to the characteristics of pop music. Originally written for violin and piano, this edition includes the piano part with the solo melody written above for reference. Instrumental parts for violin, flute, viola, and cello are available separately. These parts can be used separately or together in unison. In English and German.
