INTRODUCTION
Many students dream of developing their own musical ideas and feelings on the piano. This workshop would like to stimulate classical piano music in an individual and creative way. When participants try out improvisational patterns of a work they get material for further improvisations and very useful technical exercises. Music theory, ear training and score writing are integrated into the lessons in a very organic manner, which means that the compositions can be understood and experienced much more fundamentally. Methodical aids for first improvisatory steps are made by well-known piano pieces from baroque, classical and romantic.

SONG ACCOMPANIMENT FOR YOUNG PIANISTS

- Chord symbols and development of simple accompanying patterns
- The ability of the song accompaniment facilitates the learning of classical music
- Every student will get an Austrian diploma
INTRODUCTION
For all pianoforte students, the accompaniment of the piano is a wonderful addition to their playing possibilities. When they learn to play an accompaniment after chord symbols, they learn from the usual musical notes and learn the world of the harmonies they need to apply practically. In the course of time, they discover the same chords in the classical works of the great composer and can learn and understand them more easily. The wish to accompany a song involves the need for a musical realization of the own auditory experience. This is characterized especially in areas of popular music. Furthermore students hope to be able to liberate a bit of the common contents and structures of a ‘classical’ piano lesson by song playing and song accompaniment. To meet these requirements it is not enough to work with very detailed and predesigned song arrangements during the lessons. It is more about to take the chance of the raw materials like text and melody, which offer opportunities to the students and the teachers. Based on this spirit this workshop tries to strike new paths.
