Different Styles of Piano Playing

Today's blog post topic is different styles of piano:
Many modern styles of piano playing are based around the blues, but other modern styles often tend to be a very emotional, popular style. What classifies a piano style as emotional-popular is often an ever repeating melody or theme, and many chords. Watch the video below to get a general idea of what this style is like:

Another popular style of piano playing is ragtime, which is not only a style of playing, but a genre of music itself. This style of piano playing is often very... "jumpy," so to speak, as it moves around a lot, and is very playful. It is a very fun and bubbly style of playing. Watch the video below to get a general idea of what this style is like:

And then, of course, is the classical piano style, which is the more traditional, older style that is used for practically all classical music. I almost always use the classical piano style, although, if you refer back to one of my older posts, the C'etait Salement Romantique piece I learned to play part of is actually emotional-popular style. So watch both my classical style videos that I posted a few weeks ago, as well as the song I learned! Thanks!
