piano accompaniment
on: January 25, 2013, 06:06:38 PM
Hello,
I’m trying to learn how to play piano accompaniment while I sing. I know how to play classical piano and some blues, but I can’t find a book on piano accompaniment for pop, rock… (with advices like: don’t play the melody, play chords on the right hand…). Does anybody know a book about this or has some advices? How do piano accompanists learn to accompany?
Cheers,
Ana

Hi, Ana!

Do you know the basics on chords and scales? Maybe it's a better idea to start on YouTube so you'll have at least an idea of how it sounds?

Pop piano accompaniment
Gospel piano accompaniment
Rock piano accompaniment
Blues piano accompaniment
Jazz piano accompaniment
Piano chord voicings
etc.
