What is piano for the vocalist
It doesn’t have to take years of piano lessons to learn how to play while you sing! Singing and playing piano are distinct skills, but combining them is a unique art—and Piano for the Vocalist is designed to teach that art. This revolutionary curriculum helps singers of all levels learn to self-accompany by focusing on practical techniques and providing clear frameworks to build confidence. Whether you have a classical background and struggle with improvisation or have never touched a piano, this method empowers you to play your favorite songs while learning music fundamentals.
At the heart of the curriculum are specially designed custom arrangements that serve as complete comping workouts. Each piece begins in a foundational position (L1) and introduces rhythmic and technical modifications as students progress. The flexible structure allows learners to move through levels at their own pace, ensuring success at every step. With Piano for the Vocalist, you’ll start playing and singing right away, mastering the essentials while making music you love. Many songwriter associations ask to see a minimum of chords or roman numeral analysis when submitting pieces.
