Microjazz Beginners
Microjazz Beginners
Instrumentation: Piano
Christopher Norton’s acclaimed microjazz series has won worldwide popularity with teachers and students alike for its stimulating blend of contemporary genres and classical values. Two beginners’ books and five collections of repertoire pieces form seven clearly defined levels of achievement, making microjazz the ideal basis for progressive learning and teaching.
microjazz for beginners is the second microjazz book and is suitable for learners of all ages. Using a combination of words, music and illustrations, it takes players steadily through the early stages of both the practical and theoretical aspects of playing.
A booklet of accompaniments, suitable for use by a teacher or any intermediate player, is included. The resulting duets can be played on one or two keyboards, and turn even the easiest pupil’s tunes into unmistakable microjazz pieces.
Online audio resources containing both backing and full performance tracks are available to enthuse and enhance both your practice and performance.
