TC218: Emotive Repertoire for Teens and Adults from Movies & New Age

by Tim Topham in Podcast on November 27, 2020. 1 Comment

In this episode, find 20+ emotive teen piano repertoire picks that appeal to older or adult students, complete with play-through demos.

Teen and adult students require extra repertoire planning, because you’re not often teaching from a method book, but finding specific pieces that appeal to their unique tastes. They often gravitate toward darker, moodier, rich, chordal-based music with repetitive lines.

We’ll look at themes from movies and popular new-age style composers, from Yiruma to Einaudi, in this episode, (and save you some time playing through them all yourself!)

Hi, in your podcast you mentioned “Piano Anthology Book”, but when I did a search for it, there are a million books by that or a similar title! I tried to find the links on the RAP page, but it only loaded things from 2017. Can you give me the publisher or more information or a link to find it? Thank you!
