San Jose Contemporary Piano and Pop Piano Classes
A Great Way to Start with Piano Classes!
Playing popular modern music is a common way for beginner musicians to start learning the piano. With melodies that students are already used to, and generally a lower skill required to play, it's no wonder why most piano students today start by playing contemporary music.
Our experienced piano instructors value this style of music for it's ease and because it is a great place to start teaching certain fundamentals of music theory. Songs like "Come Sail Away," "River Flows in You," and "All Of Me," by the Pixies, Yiruma, and John Legend respectively are some common and reasonable places for new students to start.

Why Learn Pop Piano?
Pop music is a form of music that will, by definition, always please people. After all, you're playing the popular music of your time on the piano. Pop and contemporary piano is also a useful style to have under your belt because it is so common among other instruments, and you'll be able to play with other musicians much more easily.
People will always be able to recognize your songs, and often times are more interested in hearing you play when they already know the music. Contemporary music in general rather than just pop boasts a variety of beautiful musics with all sorts of dynamics and expressions, much of it being highly influenced by classical music.
Even modern-day chart-topping songs derive a lot of their elements from classical music, so you can always expect to play music that carries the same emotions as classical music, but with a more modern sound.
