Basic Piano Jazz / Rock Course
Jazz and rock music are an important part of today's musical scene, yet they play only a small part in most piano students' formal training. Consisting of Lesson, Improvisation, and Performance books, Alfred's Basic Piano Jazz / Rock Course provides an added dimension to their Basic Piano technical study method and is a complete approach to learning the Blues, Boogie, Scat, Doo-Wop, and Swing.
Jazz and rock normally promote a high degree of student enthusiasm as both music styles are fun to play and improve rhythmic ability, steadier tempos, and heightened listening skills.
Your child - or you! - will look forward to the "new sounds" being introduced into the traditional lesson and will definitely nurture their talents of creativity and expression through improvisation.
The Jazz/ Rock series is offered to students who have completed Basic Lesson Book 1A. You are welcome to purchase any of these additional books and Carolyne will then incorporate them into your child's lesson. For the greatest effect, one of each level should be worked on at the same time.
