GREAT FOR PIANO STUDENTS AND TEACHERS
Piano teachers often tell their students they should sing the instrumental pieces they play to improve their performance. This forces students to interpret pieces lyrically. They become more aware how phrases rise and fall, where pauses should be taken for breaths, and what notes should be emphasized. The witty and delightful lyrics set "Chopsticks" are an entertaining means to that end, and they make practicing both educational and fun!
