Classical Music

Classical music is an expansive genre that spans from Medieval Gregorian Chant through Renaissance (complex choral music) and Baroque (Bach, Handel and Vivaldi) composers to Mozart and Haydn’s Classical Era to Romanticism (Wagner, Liszt Chopin Brahms) compositions and Wagner Liszt Chopin Brahms’ Romantic Era works. Additionally, classical music has also made appearances in popular culture and even daily life (you might have heard Beethoven Fifth Symphony or Edward Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite as wedding or hold music when calling banks!).

Classical piano methods provide students with a firm foundation for reading music, including learning note and rhythm reading skills as well as key signatures and musical theory. Most concepts are introduced gradually rather than trying to memorize what a Dominant 7th chord is; rather than memorize this definition directly you will slowly discover it as you practice different pieces.

Jazz Music

Jazz music is an adaptable genre, capable of moving and changing people in ways few other genres can. Yet its mastery remains challenging!

Learn some popular jazz standards as an effective way of starting out your jazz piano journey, as this will familiarize you with some of the most commonly-used chord progressions and styles used by professional jazz musicians. Pay special attention when listening for techniques used by musicians rather than simply listening for individual notes themselves.

Once you’ve learned some songs, it’s time to turn your focus to jazz theory study with creativity and improvisation in mind. Every jazz theory concept must be implemented creatively for real progress as a jazz pianist; keeping this in mind while practicing will help keep frustration at bay and help ensure long-term success – eventually you will be playing great jazz tunes while enjoying it too!

Pop Music

Pop music is known for its danceable rhythm and beat, simple melodies and repetition. Additionally, pop artists frequently partner with major record labels to commercially promote their songs through various media.

Pop song lyrics often express feelings like love and heartache more poignantly than classical music, making this genre particularly suitable for young beginners learning the piano.

Though some teachers may hesitate to teach pop music, a comprehensive musical education should include all genres. Exploring different musical styles helps students build transferrable skills across genres and keeps them engaged with lessons and practicing piano – which in turn may make the difference between an easy piece and one with greater challenges and rewards for practicing! Skoove offers interactive lessons with real-time feedback which allow piano learners to explore a range of popular songs on piano while developing theory, chords and technique through interactive lessons with real-time feedback loops.

Rock Music

Rock music began its journey during the 1940s and 1950s as an amalgam of country and rhythm and blues (R&B), with guitar as its centerpiece. Composed primarily as song-based verse-chorus patterns that focus on musical skill as well as live performance, its lyrics often depict romantic love or have social or political overtones.

The decade of the Swinging Sixties saw rock evolve into psychedelic sounds such as that found on The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album or Jimi Hendrix’s hallucinatory rock n’ roll; its social message changed from youthful rebellion to middle-class forms of hedonism.
