Let’s
Play Jazz & More by
Jay Latulippe
is one of the most widely accepted and innovative approaches to make a splash
in over a decade. This highly anticipated release of Book 3, “Playing
the Blues,” not only ties the series together, but also enhances the
goal established early on… learning how to improvise. Your students’ eyes will
light up as they begin to gain an understanding of the Blues with its signature
chord progression, while they continue to develop valuable reading, rhythmic,
and composition skills. This Blues Edition is not only designed to complement
the rest of the series, but also to serve as a stand-alone resource for more
experienced pianists.
Let’s
Play Jazz & More is
not your typical, classic approach toward learning to play the piano. Its
innovation and effectiveness are the result of the belief in a very simple
philosophy… learning music is supposed to be fun! This series is ideal for students
studying privately as well as those working in a group setting. Teachers with a
variety of musical backgrounds will find it easy to implement the techniques
presented in this progressively different, yet educationally sound and complete
piano curriculum.
Here
is the edition you’ve been waiting for; “Now’s the time” to tackle Let’s Play Jazz
& More,
Book
3 -“Playing the Blues.”
