Summary of This Method
'Boogie Woodie Piano' is a method designed for pianists who want to enter the boogie-woogie style with a credible sound, solid swing, and immediately applicable technical reflexes. Through examples inspired by the playing of essential reference artists, you explore the key ingredients of the style: an infectious pulse, effective bass lines, and the characteristic bounce typical of boogie pianists.
The core of the work focuses on the left hand, the true engine of boogie. You learn to build steady accompaniments, vary rhythmic cells, and establish patterns that naturally "groove," all while maintaining tempo control. This progressive approach helps anchor coordination, stabilize the groove, and prepare the ground for a freer and more expressive right hand.
The method also guides you through essential techniques to add depth to your playing: arpeggios to craft effective climbs, syncopations to create rhythmic tension, as well as other typical boogie-woogie devices. The goal is to help you sound more "piano bar," more rootsy, and above all more musical, by understanding how these elements fit together in a real performance context.
Finally, the included CD is a valuable asset for quick progress. Thanks to the play-alongs and examples from the book, you can work on listening, placement, consistency, and endurance, all while enjoying playing with accompaniment. Ideal for developing your sense of timing and gaining confidence, whether solo, in jam sessions, or to enrich your boogie piano repertoire.
