Summary of This Method
Designed for pianists who already have a solid foundation, this method invites you to discover jazz piano in a structured way, starting from the third year of study. Serge Troubadour begins by laying the foundations: reading and understanding chord symbols, interpretative elements (articulations, phrasing intentions), and principles of building a chorus. The goal is to provide concrete tools to move beyond "classical" reading and enter a more idiomatic playing style, with reflexes specific to jazz.
The second approach is based on studying several "licks," those typical formulas that immediately identify a style. Each chapter guides you through the rhythmic and harmonic colors of boogie, blues, and ragtime, then explores more modern aesthetics like funk and jazz-rock. The method also opens up to Latin influences with salsa and Cuban music, to broaden the rhythmic palette and keyboard accompaniment.
In addition to explanations, 26 practice pieces directly illustrate the concepts seen in the first part, allowing you to move from theory to playing without delay. You will find notably Summertime, In The Mood, All Of Me, El Manisero, Girl Talk, Misty, and other emblematic themes, ideal for working on style, timing, and expression while building a repertoire.
