Summary of This Method

This book offers a selection of well-known folksongs, arranged for melodic instrument and piano. The "crossover" approach renews the listening experience: harmony and groove subtly blend elements of folk, jazz, and pop to refresh familiar melodies without altering them.

Each piece emphasizes a singing melodic line, making it a particularly interesting resource to develop tone, intonation, articulation, and phrasing. The pieces remain attractive even when played without piano, a real advantage for individual lessons, auditions, and home practice.

The CD effectively complements the score: the piano accompaniments in PDF provide a clean and professional layout, while the playback versions offer a motivating playing environment, close to stage conditions. A versatile tool for musicians curious about new colors, as well as for teachers seeking accessible and contemporary repertoire.

Arranged by Dirko Juchem, saxophonist, saxophone teacher, and internationally recognized author at Schott, these arrangements are aimed at all lovers of melodic repertoire and modern sounds.
