Description
An exquisite collection of jazz miniatures for the beginner pianist that introduces the player to a range of keys, rhythms and performance techniques. Composed especially for the grade 0-1 pianist, these tiny moments of cool are designed to delight both player and audience alike. This is the first book in a brand new series by Elissa Milne. There are five books in all, each filled with fun jazz pieces that can be used both as pedagogical studies and as repertoire pieces. The pieces have been written with the young pianist in mind, avoiding leaps that are difficult for small hands and incorporating suitably short and light-hearted pieces. Technique is developed alongside musicality, helping young players to move towards grade exams and the other books in the series.
