Summary of This Method
Beginning Jazz Piano is aimed at players with little prior knowledge who enjoy exploring music related to jazz. Designed as both a musical and practical method, it guides the student through pieces that "sound good" from the very first pages, while establishing solid foundations in rhythm, harmony, and touch.
Learning takes place through numerous harmonious pieces: compositions by Tim Richards, melodies from classic jazz, and more modern themes inspired by standards. The goal is twofold: to learn to play with a true jazz language (articulations, swing, timing) and to understand how to build a coherent playing style, whether solo or in an accompaniment context.
The content is divided into two volumes of comparable level, usable consecutively or in parallel. The first volume simply introduces improvisation "over the harmonies": perfect chords in the left hand, pentatonic scales, arpeggios, and the blues scale, immediately put into practice in concrete pieces. The second volume develops typical rhythms and bass grooves from swing to Latin, strengthens the appetite for accompaniment piano, and shows how to arrange a melody in a jazz context.
The audio files offer full versions and play-along tracks with Tim Richards on piano, an additional bass line, and drums, to work on tempo, timing, and consistency. Additionally, the interactive "Replay" feature, designed with MusicGurus, provides access to interactive scores of the pieces to facilitate reading, listening, and daily practice.
