"My friends like to hear me play cool music." Why not, indeed. J.S. Bach taught his sons using the music of his time - popular dances, preludes and exercises by living composers. It would never have occurred to him to seek out pieces in styles and rhythms one hundred years old. He expected his boys to thrive in the musical world of their time. American Popular Piano has been developed on the same principles. Students working in this series will? · develop traditional pianistic and musical skills through music in contemporary, popular styles

· enjoy regular ensemble playing
