The piano is often called the “king of instruments,” and for good reason. With its incredible range and versatility, it can take center stage in a concert hall or quietly accompany a singer in a cozy cafe. At Studio 72, we’re passionate about helping you discover the endless possibilities this instrument offers. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pianist looking to branch out, understanding different piano styles can open up a whole new world of music.
Classical: The Foundation of All Music
When people think of piano music, classical often comes to mind first. This style is rooted in works by legendary composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin. Playing classical piano is not just about creating beautiful music; it’s also a fantastic way to build a solid foundation in technique and theory. The discipline and precision required in classical pieces prepare you for almost any other style you might want to explore.
Whether it’s the flowing melodies of a Chopin nocturne or the dramatic intensity of a Beethoven sonata, classical music challenges and inspires pianists of all levels.
Jazz: The Art of Improvisation
If classical music is about structure, jazz is about freedom. Known for its syncopated rhythms and bluesy tones, jazz piano lets you express yourself in truly unique ways. Artists like Thelonious Monk and Bill Evans have revolutionized the way pianists approach the instrument, turning it into a tool for storytelling and emotional depth.
Learning jazz piano at Studio 72 isn’t just about memorizing chords and scales. It’s about developing your ear and gaining the confidence to improvise—an essential skill for any aspiring musician.
Pop: Modern and Relatable
Pop music has brought the piano into homes and hearts worldwide. From Elton John’s soulful ballads to Alicia Keys’ modern anthems, the piano is a staple in popular music. Pop piano focuses on catchy melodies and straightforward chords, making it accessible for beginners and a great way to start playing your favorite songs.
At Studio 72, we help you learn the hits you love while teaching you the techniques that make them come alive. Whether you’re dreaming of playing for friends at a party or writing your songs, pop piano is an exciting and rewarding style to explore.
Exploring Beyond the Mainstream
Classical, jazz, and pop may be the most recognized styles, but the piano is capable of so much more. Have you ever tried Latin music with its lively rhythms or the meditative beauty of new-age compositions? How about film scores that tug at the heartstrings or the raw energy of rock ‘n’ roll?
