How about a PIANO LESSON with
OSCAR PETERSON
Oscar Peterson is one of my all-time favorite jazz pianists as well as a favorite of most jazz piano enthusiasts. He was voted Jazz Pianist of the Year in 1950 by the Downbeat Readers’ Poll, a title he garnered for an additional twelve years. He toured the globe extensively with Jazz at the Philharmonic as well as with his own trio.
"Born August 15, 1925 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Oscar Peterson passed away at his home on the morning of December 23, 2007. His legacy lives on through his music. Oscar Peterson passed away at his home on the morning of December 23, 2007. His legacy lives on through his music."
LADY GAGA FUGUE
Here is a wonderful piece by Giovanni Dettori. "Lady Gaga Fugue", a piece based on the theme from the song "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga. This should show how counterpoint can be fun and up to date!
"This is an outstanding way for a music teacher to introduce the idea of counterpoint to young people skeptical of Classical music - which is exactly what Leonard Bernstein would have done with this fugue."
