Summary of This Method
Highly acclaimed worldwide by both teachers and students, Christopher Norton's Microjazz series offers an exciting blend of contemporary styles and solid "classical" landmarks. Microjazz for Beginners is the second book in the series: it is aimed at beginner pianists and guides them step-by-step through the fundamentals of playing, alternating explanations, musical examples, and illustrations to make learning concrete and lively.
Designed to establish lasting foundations, this method addresses the first technical reflexes (reading, coordination, positioning, musicality) while progressively introducing essential theory concepts. A major pedagogical asset is also the included accompaniment booklet: used by a teacher or an intermediate pianist, it transforms simple melodies into genuine Microjazz-style duets. These duets can be played on a single keyboard (four hands) or on two keyboards, promoting listening, rhythmic setup, and the joy of playing together.
To complement instrumental work, online audio resources are available with accompaniment tracks and full performance versions. An excellent support to improve regularity, pulse, articulation, and expressiveness, while providing clear musical direction for each piece.
