The main problem in teaching
       piano accompaniment


   The main goal - to develop adaptability
   The main problem - how to achieve it efficiently
   Solo piano vs. piano accompaniment
   What's easier?
   What's more complex?
The old way we used to teach it
     and the problems it involved


The old fashioned piano accompaniment class:

   one piano student plays imitating the soloist, the other
    piano students plays along piano accompany part
   no adaptation to the real soloist

 Limited usability
- no preparation for the real public performance
The new way: how technology can
   help teachers and students

Increased class usability:
- accompanying several performances from Youtube
- use each YT recording only once
- preparation for the public performance
Developing:
- listening skills
- adaptability
Teacher's preparation for the lesson


   choosing the pieces
   searching YT for useful performances
   saving the links, making notes and reflections about
    students' achievements
   allowing some time for students to read and learn the
    pieces
Lesson Goals & Timing


Lesson goals:
- learning to catch the agogics on the fly
- developing listening to changes of the harmonies and dynamic expressiveness
