Summary of This Collection
This collection from the Easy Piano Songbook series offers a clear and motivating approach to easy jazz piano. Designed for pianists at the EASY level, it focuses on the essentials: immediately recognizable melodies, a simplified yet coherent left hand, and accompaniments designed to establish a stable pulse. The work on style is at the heart of the book: articulation, accents, rhythmic placements, and playing intentions allow you to capture the jazz color without getting lost in overly advanced technical difficulties.
Throughout the pages, you consolidate essential jazz piano reflexes: managing syncopations, understanding accents, alternating between accompaniment and melody, and initial harmonization landmarks (3- or 4-note chords, simple extensions, practical inversions). This songbook is perfect for building a repertoire usable in lessons, sight-reading, or for enjoyment at home, while improving regularity, hand coordination, and musicality. Published in 2017, it stands as a reliable resource for starting or returning to jazz at the keyboard with accessible, rewarding versions focused on "making music" from the very first measures.
