Teaching Blues & Accompaniment to a Reader

Found in: Accompaniment, Adult Students, Blues, Playing-Based Methodology

Sandra M., Canada

I have a potential adult student with a traditional/classical piano background (grade 7 RCM) interested in broadening her music education. She would want to learn the blues and accompaniment streams. Is there a way to use the simply music materials to someone who already knows how to read music? My initial answer was no but I wanted to put it out there anyway.
