63 | Accompanist or Backing Track
After miserably hacking through a student’s song on the piano in the lesson the other day, I started thinking about the challenges of accompanying our students. AND the struggle with using backing tracks for home practice. Whether you are a seasoned pro behind the keyboard or your skills are functional there are plenty of times when we need to step away from the piano and just watch our students! Music is a collaborative art form and yet, are we supporting our singers too much?
