Supersonics: Pop School Level 2

By Daniel McFarlane

Now that your students know how to play a broad range of piano chords and progressions, this book will teach them to apply this knowledge - creating music with different moods and expressions. Watch student confidence soar as they pair piano chords with melodies in a range of contemporary styles, including ballads, waltzes, rag and jazz tunes. Daniel McFarlane's engaging pieces, online resources and activities will streamline your teaching process and set your students up for success. Each piece in this pop method book has online recordings and additional teaching resources - making lessons (and practice!) fun. Pop School 2 is the perfect companion to more "traditional" piano methods (If you are already using Supersonics Piano Method Levels 4 and 5 then you are already covering the concepts and material within this book). Each original piece introduces or consolidates a new accompaniment style. The free Roman Numeral and Nashville Number System analyses in the Supersonics Plus App will help further your understanding of each piece. By the end of this book, students will have a deep understanding and foundation from which to apply their knowledge to other styles and genres of music.

A: This book is the perfect companion to supplement other piano methods which don't focus on teaching pop chords, progressions and contemporary harmonies in detail for students 6+ years. Q: What techniques and skills will my students master by using this piano method? A: By the end of Pop School 2, students will develop a love of contemporary melodies in a range of popular styles - and be able to play the accompanying chords in different ways. They'll build on their practical knowledge of chord progressions, and play accompanying contemporary melodies - giving them a strong music foundation to provide a better understanding of classical music and other styles such as rock, blues and jazz. They'll become familiar with chord progressions and melodies in these styles: ballad, slow stride, power chords, boogie woogie, funk, tango and waltz. Please note that this book is perfect bound.
