Since I recently posted about pop music, I thought I'd put this out there -
Sometimes I hear a pop song or a song from a movie soundtrack and think, "hmmm, I like that - I wouldn't mind if a student learned that song."
I'm talking about piano pieces that you can actually maybe learn some good piano technique in, or that maybe sound a little classical-ish. The good thing about these is that they could be great motivation for students who may not be so into classical music...and possibly a way to start to "convert" them to classical music :)
