How To Play Rock Piano Styles

Bet you would love to learn how to play your favorite music? You can learn to compose and create your own rock on the piano, according to you and how you feel.

    The roots of piano rock can be traced to 1950s rock-and-roll pioneers Jerry Lee Lewis, known as "the killer", Fats Domino, Little Richard, and a few others. Many of their frantic performance styles, such as kicking the piano bench out of the way to play standing, raking their hands up and down the keyboard for dramatic effect, and even sitting on the keyboard are now commonplace in modern piano rock.

    Rock piano is related, but not the same as, the blues. And the blues is based on a 12-bar pattern that repeats. Probably the main difference is in the rhythm -- jazz and blues tends to by syncopated, while rock is often steady, with a heavier beat.

     Playing piano does not have to be a laborious chore. No more spending hours pounding on the piano, with scales and notes galore.
