About this course

Rockschool Piano Grade 3 brings rock, pop and jazz together, and this course shows you how each style is meant to feel. Pro pianists give you full demonstration performances and lessons on six pieces - Rihanna's Unfaithful, Adele's Skyfall, Otis Redding's (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay, plus Reggae Island, Overrated and Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage.

You also dig into Grade 3 scales, arpeggios and chord voicings, the basics of blues improvisation over a 12-bar form, and sight reading with the KAT TRAP method, taught by players including Paddy Milner, Ross Stanley, James Beckwith, Marina Haywood-Lieberman and Andrew Johnson. Loop and slow down every performance in the MusicGurus player to work out exactly what's going on.

This course is available for free when you checkout with the code: G3FREE

Please note - the pieces in this Rockschool video course are from the 2017-19 exam syllabus. However they can still be performed as 'free choice' pieces in RSL exams.
