Euterpe music school 即兴伴奏课程，著名音乐作曲家苏恒老师...

Euterpe music school 现开设即兴伴奏组课课程（一个班最多6个学生，每人一台钢琴），时间在每个拜六的下午4:00pm, 有兴趣者请赶快报名，名额有限。
即兴伴奏课程是给那些热爱音乐，但又苦于读谱困难，而没有办法弹喜欢的曲子的音乐爱好者。传统的钢琴课，学生要从读谱慢慢学起，也就是一定要照谱弹，才能学会一首歌，而且在初级1，2年内很难弹那些自己喜欢的歌曲，通常要达到英国皇家5级的水准才可以读一些简单的乐谱，可是遗憾的是，大多学生都坚持不到这个程度就放弃学琴了。而有些就算是学到英皇8级，也还是不能随心所欲的弹自己喜欢的歌，还是要照谱弹才能学会自己喜欢的歌。
简单的讲即兴伴奏课程有别与传统钢琴课程的是：
1 教会学生如何给旋律配伴奏，学会各种伴奏音型，只要记住音乐的旋律，就可以自己自如的编配左手的伴奏，完全不需要乐谱就会弹钢琴。
2 学生可以在钢琴上自弹自唱喜欢的歌曲，就像舞台上那些明星一样，可以在钢琴上自如表现自己的情感。
3 这个课程还能充分发挥学生的听觉能力，我们都知道学习音乐，音乐听觉能力是关键，很多按照传统钢琴学习的学生，只会照谱弹，音乐“耳朵” 没有得到充分的训练，自己在家弹错也听不出来，一定要依赖老师才可以发现错误。即兴伴奏课程需要学生充分利用耳朵去学习音乐，学习一段时间后大多都能具备专业的音乐“耳朵”。

教授这个课程的苏恒老师，是新加坡著名的作曲家和音乐总监。他在我们学校只教2个班的即兴伴奏课程，希望有兴趣者，报名从速。

IMPROVISED PIANO ACCOMPANIMENT
(No prerequisites)

Ever envied the way guitarists can seemingly just pick up their instruments and proceed to strum and sing any tune under the sun?  Well, pianists can do that too, short of picking up their instrument, of course.  Learn to provide an effective accompaniment to your own singing or any solo voice or instrument using nothing more than a chord chart.

Music for classes will mainly be contemporary and chosen taking into account student interest and aptitude.  In a typical group session, 3 songs will be targeted and each student will alternate between providing the accompaniment and joining the rest of the class in mass singing.  So, come prepared for enjoyable learning and productive fun - these are not just piano lessons, they're also karaoke sessions with live accompaniment!

IMPROVISED PIANO SOLO
(For pianists who have attained a practical standard at least comparable to ABRSM Grade 5)

Tired of having to read huge chunks of notes from a grand staff and put in many hours of practice before being able to play the piece you like?  Ever wanted to recreate a pretty tune you heard but could never find the sheet music for it?  Learn to improvise complete piano arrangements of well-known contemporary songs from bare melodies and chords.

This course will be customised to the needs of each group, and learner proficiency as well as preference will be important considerations in the selection of music.  2 or 3 songs will dominate each session and every pianist will have the opportunity to play duets with his/her classmates, tackling the melody and accompaniment in turn before finally performing the piece solo.  In this way, the course aims not only to train independent pianists but also communal musicians, sensitive and responsive to the cues and goals of fellow music makers.
