Point of View | Pop Piece for Solo Piano (Early Intermediate)

Point of View — Brock Chart

Point of View is a fun, soulful pop piece written for early intermediate students. Inspired by modern singer-songwriters with R&B and soul influences such as Emily King and Corinne Bailey Rae, the music features a relaxed groove where steady staccato quarter notes act as the heartbeat while the right hand playfully moves above with smooth, catchy melodic lines.

The piece is approachable for developing players because of its clear melody-and-accompaniment texture, but it still feels stylish and current. Students get to settle into a consistent groove while learning how to balance crisp articulation in one hand with expressive, lyrical shaping in the other.

Point of View is especially effective for helping students build articulation control and rock-steady timing. It also gives them a chance to explore the laid-back feel and expressive phrasing that make contemporary pop and soul-inspired music so appealing to play.
