More about this title

Why we love this

This collection captures 2009 in one volume, giving pianists and singer-pianists immediate access to the year's defining pop and rock hits without hunting through individual sheet music. The mix spans genuine stylistic range—from Radiohead's angular alt-rock to Beyoncé's R&B sophistication to Bruce Springsteen's heartland rock—so there's something worth learning for every taste and skill level.

What to expect

Energetic and eclectic. One moment you're deep in Muse's synth-rock architecture; the next you're playing Katy Perry's infectious pop hooks or sitting with the quiet tension of a Lifehouse ballad. The collection captures the sonic and emotional breadth of 2009 pop radio.

Who it's for

Pianists and singer-pianists preparing for recitals, open mics, or studio sessions who want to learn contemporary hits from a landmark year in pop and rock. This collection also serves intermediate to advanced music students building a working repertoire of recognizable songs for performance or accompaniment work.

How to get the most out of it

  • Study the original recorded versions before diving into the charts. The production choices and arrangement details in the studio recordings will clarify how to voice the chords and balance melody against accompaniment.
  • Pay close attention to chord symbols above the vocal line; many of these songs use suspended and extended harmonies that define their harmonic identity. Nail the voicings rather than defaulting to basic triads.
  • When performing rock or pop songs with a strong rhythmic groove, lock the piano's rhythmic feel to the song's original tempo and pocket. A loose interpretation can flatten the energy.
  • For ballads like 'At Last' or 'Footprints in the Sand,' resist the urge to add extra ornamentation. The strength of these arrangements lies in clarity and emotional directness.

How to use it

Pull individual titles for student recitals, coffeehouse concerts, or variety shows where contemporary repertoire makes sense alongside or instead of classical standards. The 208-page volume works well as a reference text for a studio instructor building students' pop and rock chops throughout a season.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading chord symbols and realizing chords in multiple voicings
  • Accompanying singers and adapting harmonic density to vocal phrasing
  • Interpreting stylistic cues from rock, pop, R&B, and alt-rock contexts
  • Managing rhythmic independence between left-hand groove and right-hand melody
  • Transposing songs to accommodate different vocal ranges
