I am teaching a keyboard literture class, to a group of adults who love piano music, but they are not piano majors, I can't think of a less academical name for the class at the moment, I don't want to use Keyboard Literture, anyone can be a little help here?
Thanks.

Just use the word SEX or maybe ZEN in the title. It will be a big hit.

I'm not sure what I'd call it, I've been trying to think of something and am drawing a blank so far. I definitely think it needs a new name though, as I never would have guessed what it was about. Something along the lines of what apple suggested, like Piano Literature, or the Key to Piano Literature.

Okay. So taking Chas' and apple's suggestions, we get The Zen of Sex at The Keys. Might get good enrollment, but Add/Drop will be busy the second day of the semester. :p

 How about something mundane but descriptive, such as Famous [if they are considered famous, otherwise remove] Composers and Their Pieces? Or Composers and Composition Analysis?

I'm not completely sure what that even means.

Famous composers and their Pieces seem to be a pretty descriptive title....thanks for help..trying to avoide anything 2 academical, so compostion and analysis will not be the choice? what do you think about keyboard classics?

Keyboard Classics and their Composers?
Composers and their Keyboard Classics?
Which is the main emphasis, the famous composers or the famous pieces?

Keyboard Classics sounds to me more like a piano class. I think AdagioM's suggestions would be better.
