This is a presentation I gave at the National Conference on Keyboard Pedagogy in Chicago 2015. It's all about how piano teachers can use pop music to motivate their students and also how pop music can be a lens through which teachers can teach the fundamentals of music: chords, progressions, harmony with RELEVANCE to their students.
