SUMMARY:Grant Event - How to Start Improvising at the Piano and Rote Pieces: One Piece of the Pedagogical Puzzle
DESCRIPTION:Presenting District: Blue Mountain\nPresenter: Paula Dreyer\nProgram Description: \nImprovisation is a skill that can be learned\, just like everything else we teach. With the right tools\, some practice\, an open mind\, and a bit of bravery\, all pianists can learn how to improvise. Everyone will leave the session with concrete tools that will allow them to explore the piano in fresh\, new ways. Paula invites you to discover creativity at the piano. In this interactive workshop\, participants will explore a wide range of specific\, attainable improvisation concepts\, based off of rote pieces\, gorgeous chord progressions\, left hand patterns\, and more. After spending years exploring improvisation and composition\, Paula has discovered a framework to help you and your students become more versatile\, well-rounded musicians. \nRote pieces\, learned through modeling and demonstration\, have recently become widely popular in the piano pedagogy field. They are highly beneficial for teaching technique and expression while enhancing musical memory and reading skills. They offer impressive\, motivating recital pieces for beginners. Teachers will learn how and why to teach rote pieces\, gain new tools for creativity in the lesson through improvisation and composition\, and will discover new resources to enhance and compliment standard beginning repertoire.
