Six Reasons to Play New Age Piano
Edward Weiss
Here are six very good reasons to learn how to play piano in the New Age style:
1. It's easy. No months spent learning theory here. Just a few chords and you're off enjoying the joy of improvisation. Learning chords is the key to playing easily and effortlessly! And with New Age piano, the chords you learn can be used right away!
2. It's fun! You can actually create your own music! In the classical music world you spend all your time learning how to play other peoples music. With New Age piano, you can sit down and "compose" a piece of your very own
3. It sounds good. You can, by using a few modern sounding chords, sound good playing piano right away.
4. Techniques are easily learned. New Age piano uses techniques that anyone can learn how to play in a matter of minutes.
5. No note reading involved. New Age piano is very much an improvised music. This being the case, chords are really all that you need to know. Although note reading is nice, it's not necessary in order to create your own music
6. It's modern. New Age piano is a modern genre. Having really picked up steam in the mid 1980's, it's something that can grow and become a vital force in today's society.
