An introduction to swing, blues, latin and funk Part 1: Everything You Need To Get Started. Par RICHARDS TIM. Beginning Jazz Piano s'adresse aux joueurs ayant peu de connaissances préalables et qui aiment explorer la musique liée au jazz. Avec de nombreux morceaux harmonieux - ses propres compositions, des mélodies du jazz classique et de nouvelles mélodies de chansons de jazz connues - Tim Richards initie les joueurs au blues, au funk et à la musique latine, en expliquant les techniques les plus importantes pour la main droite et la main gauche. L'éducateur expérimenté et auteur des méthodes Blues Piano et Jazz Piano, acclamés par la critique, suit également les exigences du catalogue d'examens de l'ABRSM, entre autres, ce qui fait de cette méthode une ressource indispensable pour étudier et pratiquer. Le volume 1 (ED 23374) explique de manière simple comment jouer spontanément et librement au-dessus des harmonies. En commençant par des accords parfaits à la main gauche, des gammes pentatiques et des arpèges ainsi que la gamme de blues sont expliqués ici et essayée avec des pièces concrètes. Truffé de rythmes typiques et de grooves de basse allant du swing au latin, le volume 2 (ED 23379) aiguise ensuite l'appétit pour le piano comme instrument d'accompagnement et montre également comment arranger une mélodie dans un contexte de jazz. Les deux volumes sont de même niveau de difficulté et peuvent être utilisés consécutivement ou en parallèle. Les fichiers audio comprennent des versions complètes et des pistes play-along, avec Tim Richards au piano, une ligne de basse supplémentaire et une batterie. La fonction interactive 'Replay' est particulièrement recommandée, non seulement pour les autodidactes : En coopération avec 'MusicGurus', fournisseur de cours en ligne de haute qualité, des partitions interactives de tous les morceaux sont accessibles en ligne gratuitement, ce qui facilite la pratique et garantit un succès rapide d'apprentissage. / Niveau : facile à moyen / Méthode / Piano
