Ep. 37 – For The Gamer Who Thinks They Don’t Like Piano
from Piano Pedagogy Playlist · host Luke Bartolomeo
Today’s episode is for a very specific student. The one who’s deeply immersed in video games and gaming culture… who loves music—but doesn’t think they love piano. Maybe they’ve even decided they’re a little too cool for it. This week I’m sharing music that can change that perception. Featuring selections from Let’s Quest, Volume 2 by Chrissy Ricker, these original piano pieces capture the sound world of video games. Even though the music is new, it feels familiar—often leading students to that moment of recognition: “Oh… this feels like my music.” In the episode, I share a recent teaching moment where that exact shift happened—and how repertoire like this can completely change a student’s outlook on their piano studies.
