Notable artists in this genre include Alicia Keys, John Legend, Billie Eilish, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift--who have successfully merged the expressive capabilities of the piano with the appeal of pop and rock music, creating timeless and widely appreciated songs.
My Personal Modern Pop Piano Music Repertoire
I love Modern Pop music because it allows me to play songs that are familiar to me, but alter them to create a unique solo version on the piano. Modern Pop piano is often a wedding favorite because of the familiarity to guests.
Please note the arranger on each song. This is the person who arranges the well-known song in a particular way. The arrangers listed are the specific versions of the song I have learned and mastered. For each song, I've researched and listened for the best arrangements.
Like the Contemporary page, I'm putting a double asterisk** next to some of my favorites that you should listen to if nothing else.
