<br />---------------hello.
i have a few beginner students. i´m suppose to learn them the basics of pop/soul/gospel/jazz piano. everyone seems to want to be able to be able to comp them selves when singing. anyone have any good tunes to give them? any suggestions on how to get them curious and getting people to do those boring excercises? i have played i´m sailing with most of them. i´m looking for similar tunes with a simple melody but maybe with something little that might challenge the technique as well.

for what it's worth, plenty of yamaha keyboards have a list of pop, folk, blues and jazz tunes on which you can learn comping.
i know mine has a few that any beginner could tackle, yet, the comping is almost always tasty, even on the simplest tunes.
even cooler, you can transpose these at the touch of a button, so if you have a second keyboard, you can learn them in all the keys you want.
