Edition Dux Pop Piano Patterns

Creative accompaniment patterns for modern pop piano playing

Edition Dux Pop Piano Patterns is a practice-oriented textbook for piano that provides a well-founded and at the same time creative approach to modern piano accompaniment. The focus is on the basics of free accompaniment, which are taught step by step in an understandable way and can be put into practice directly on the instrument.

The book shows how to play from lead sheets and chord symbols with confidence and style. Typical accompaniment patterns from pop and rock are systematically developed and can be transferred to a wide variety of songs. This develops the ability to create music spontaneously and individually. The repertoire ranges from pop and rock songs and gospels to Christmas, folk and children's songs. This makes the textbook suitable for lessons as well as for independent music-making in a wide variety of musical contexts.

An integrated audio download and stream supports the learning process with audio examples and practical playbacks.
