#savatage With a surprisingly tentative, sensitive, hesitant, and flexible piano opening, I was instantly intrigued and drawn into this first-listen experience. There’s a lot of contrast and variety throughout the course of this song, and you will see that I enjoyed discovering some of these elements in “Rock Music” for the first time! Here’s the link to the original song by Savatage:    • Savatage - Gutter Ballet  . _________________________ If you want me to do a First Listen and In-depth Analysis of YOUR song of choice, or if you want an exclusive 1:1 session where I can answer your questions, dig deeper into a topic, or even coach you in your musical experience, such as a music theory, piano, or harp lesson, singing, music reading, etc, follow this link: https://ko-fi.com/amyshaferarts/commi...
