Beginners who would like to immerse themselves in the world of jazz music and related musical genres are well advised with Schott Music Beginning Jazz Piano 2. Tim Richards, jazz pianist with extensive experience and teacher of jazz piano, introduces blues, funk and Latin music to players with a slight background in this edition. As an experienced teacher, he knows how to convey the techniques didactically and skillfully. The textbook builds on Schott Music Beginning Jazz Piano 1, but can also be used in parallel. The volumes have the same level of difficulty and are therefore not dependent on previous knowledge of varying degrees.
Volume 2 deals with the piano as an accompanying instrument and teaches you how to arrange melodies in a jazz context. In addition, the textbook contains suitable pieces that practically consolidate the contents. The author also takes into account the ABRSM examination catalogue in this method.
The audio files available for download include full versions and playalongs with bass line and drums. This allows you to listen to the full pieces first for orientation, and then play along with the full instrumentation.
