Summary of This Method
Halfway between a sheet music collection and a method book, this work primarily offers transcriptions of major 80s hits to be played on piano (and more broadly on other types of keyboards). You will find, among others, Africa (Toto), Beat It (Michael Jackson), Every Breath You Take (The Police), I Want to Break Free (Queen), Like a Virgin (Madonna), One Step Beyond (Madness), Still Loving You (Scorpions), Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) (Eurythmics), Take On Me (A-ha), With or Without You (U2)... and many more.
The strength of this collection lies in the quality of the arrangements: each piece is designed to have you play, on a single keyboard, the key elements that make these songs immediately recognizable (motifs, accompaniments, riffs, highlights). The goal is not just to "read notes," but to understand the logic of a piano reduction by selecting what is essential to the groove, harmony, and melody.
To facilitate your progress, fingerings are indicated directly on the sheet music to optimize fluidity and playing comfort. Finally, two audio tracks accompany each arrangement: one at the indicated tempo and a slower version, perfect for working on precision, establishing transitions, and then increasing speed without sacrificing musicality. An excellent choice to enrich your pop-rock repertoire, develop your arranging skills, and enjoy playing the keyboard.
