Summary of This Method

A First Book Of Jazz: 21 Arrangements For The Beginning Pianist is a playful and structured gateway to jazz piano. The collection offers 21 easy-to-play melodies, with arrangements adapted for beginner pianists: the goal is to discover the colors of jazz (syncopations, ragtime energy, "swing" spirit, and sense of phrasing) while staying within a reassuring technical framework.

The content highlights great names and iconic titles from the repertoire. You will find, for example, George Gershwin with "I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise" and "Nobody But You," Irving Berlin with "Alexander's Ragtime Band" and "Lady of the Evening," Jerome Kern with "They Didn't Believe Me," as well as Scott Joplin with "Bethena." The collection also includes very melodic and popular classics such as "After You've Gone," "Baby Won't You Please Come Home," "Indiana," and "Rose Room."

This method is perfectly suited to enrich a piano lesson, vary styles after a classical repertoire, or build a motivating program around standards. It is also an excellent tool for working on rhythmic regularity, sight-reading, and interpretation, while developing an initial sensitivity to the jazz language.
