We have a really strong emphasis on classical as parents are very much academic driven.Singapore Piano Teachershttp://www.singaporepianohub.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734173.post-19822595175573072462016-05-18T13:29:56.281-04:002016-05-18T13:29:56.281-04:00As a classical piano teacher, I think your tips ar...As a classical piano teacher, I think your tips are very valuable! After playing for so many years, I have internalized a lot of the sounds and feelings of where my fingers go, and have been wondering how to encourage this in my students from the beginning of their education.

In classical music, it often works -- several accidentals in a chord often spells diminished. But in jazz, it doesn't work. The harmonies seem quite unconventional to us; it's difficult to hear in advance, and the chords don't fit the inversions and arpeggios we've worked so diligently to make natural responses. Thank you for this post.
