This piano course teaches how to solo in the pop style using chord tone targets, a fundamental technique for targeting the most important notes in each chord. The course covers essential pop chords and three common chord progressions found in popular songs, along with three accompaniment patterns suitable for beginner to intermediate players. Students will learn what chord tone targets are, how to select the best scales for pop chord progressions, and what makes an effective solo versus a meandering one. The course includes practical exercises to master chord tone targeting and techniques for using multiple or mixed targets. By completion, students will have the skills to confidently solo over any pop song, with downloadable sheet music and backing tracks provided for practice.
