Summary of This Sheet Music
Widely acclaimed worldwide by both teachers and students, Christopher Norton's Microjazz series stands out for its balance between the energy of contemporary styles and the demands of classical fundamentals: sight-reading, phrasing, rhythmic regularity, and sound quality. Designed as a coherent journey in seven levels (two beginner books and five repertoire collections), it provides an ideal foundation for progressive, structured, and truly motivating learning.
Microjazz Collection 2 offers a program of accessible and evolving pieces, carefully written to develop musical ease while keeping motivation at the heart of practice. Each piece explores an identifiable style (jazz, blues, rock 'n' roll, reggae) and emphasizes essential skills: steady pulse, articulation, accentuation, phrasing, and sense of groove. The pedagogical notes accompany you to organize practice, target difficulties, and gain autonomy, whether in lessons or at home.
To complement learning, online audio resources are provided with full performances and backing tracks. An excellent support to improve rhythmic accuracy, learn to play "with" accompaniment, refine listening skills, and prepare for a more confident and musical performance.
