Coup De Pouce Songbook Piano Vol 1

Summary of This Book

This 72-page collection is aimed at pianists who wish to play a modern repertoire and develop solid foundations in harmony, in order to accompany well-known melodies with a more confident and musical left hand. For each piece, the accompaniment (mainly assigned to the left hand) is explained and commented on in detail, facilitating the understanding of chord progressions, bass lines, and accompaniment patterns.

The right hand, dedicated to the melody, allows for practicing essential piano playing concepts: fingerings, phrasing, articulation, and rhythmic placement. Sight-reading and implementation are also addressed throughout the pieces, making this an ideal songbook to gain autonomy, improve coordination, and enrich musicality, regardless of starting level.

To guide you at every step, audio files (accessible on the media kiosk) accompany the book. For each title, you have:

• A complete version at the original tempo
• A complete version at a slow tempo
• A "left hand alone" track to isolate the accompaniment
• A detailed audio explanation of the left hand

The repertoire notably includes "Hallelujah," "Mad World," "Comptine d'un autre été," and "La valse d'Amélie" (Amélie), "Una Mattina" (The Intouchables), "This Guy's in Love with You" (Good Morning England), as well as "Mistral gagnant," "Je l'aime à mourir," "Petite Marie," "Je vole," and "Le cygne." The lyrics are available at the end of the book, making it easy to find the texts associated with the pieces.
