SALOMON MUSIC ACADEMY

SALOMON MUSIC ACADEMY

The Salomon Music Academy is an inspiring piano course developed to help pianists of all levels take their playing to greater heights through its Teaching Strategies, notably Music Phenomenology. Pascal Salomon’s experience in the studio and on stage has been crucial to the development of this unique piano course.

The goal here is not just to make another piano course. It’s rather to teach things you can effectively apply to real-world situations, to give you concrete tools, skills, knowledge, and vocabulary that translate into a greater expression on the piano, no matter what you’re playing.

Novice pianists, intermediate-level and skilled pianists seeking to get an advanced level of expression on the Piano can take full advantage of this course. The teaching can adjust to anyone playing popular, contemporary, or worship music, and wanting to play at a more professional level; however, there is a focus on classical music. Singer-songwriters and musicians at all levels will find this course very helpful as it cuts out any jargon or time-wasting learning things that won’t help make you a better player.
