We play piano duets from time to time- there are usually a couple duet pieces at the end of each piano beginner coursebook that I wrote. This is “When the Saints Go Marching on”. I love playing with my piano students!
Sometimes I help student make up their own version of popular songs, especially with those who like to be more creative. Here Emily plays her own version of the ever popular “Imagine” by John Lennon.
In my piano lessons, I teach students how to play chords and make up their own music. It’s a lot of fun, something different from playing from the music score, which is of course equally great!
My student plays Elgar’s Salut d’Amour, Op.12 at the piano in a recording session. (There are many instrumental versions of this piece!)
I taught this student from absolute piano beginner to piano diploma holder. That’s over 10 years of piano teaching and mentoring. Like I always say, it’s about the relationship through piano. I still have contact with her and other students overseas. We remain good friends throughout the years. Enjoy this performance by Yan.
I encourage students to arrange their own version of familiar tunes. In our piano beginner book 2, we teach students to play happy birthday song, learn about chords and make up their own versions with the chords.
