Billy Joel’s classic and popular songs
Let me introduce a song by Billy Joel, the American pianist and singer-songwriter.
Influenced by his parents, he began playing the piano and worked as a pianist in a bar during high school, but he ended up failing his credits and dropping out.
At the time, he reportedly said, “I’m not going to Columbia University—I’m going to Columbia Records, so I don’t need a high school diploma.”
It shows his determination and strength of spirit—so cool, right?
One of his great charms is his powerful yet warm singing voice.
Watching him sing while playing the piano is absolutely captivating.

This NightBilly Joel
It’s cool to be able to pull off songs with a mature vibe, isn’t it? The one I’d like to introduce is “This Night.” It’s a song Billy Joel released in 1984.
Set to a moody sound, it sings about a night spent with a loved one.
The first half is sung within a relatively narrow range, but in the second half the melody moves quite dramatically up and down.
How about focusing your practice on that area? By the way, the melody of this song is based on Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No.
8, “Pathétique.”
