 - Optional duet parts enhance practice and performance.
 - Included CD features performances of all tunes, demonstrating their stylistic nuances.

TEACHERS: INTRODUCE JAZZ TO YOUR STUDENTS AS YOU LEARN MORE ABOUT IT YOURSELF!
 - Do you have students who like to change or “improve” written music to fit their taste?
 - Do you have classical students who are interested in trying out other musical styles?
-  Do you have trouble finding jazz resources oriented to 10 – 15 year olds?

Piano students thrive on experiencing a variety of musical styles, and jazz has proven to be the perfect avenue for motivating them, while opening them up to a vital musical tradition of artistic expression. 
That’s Jazz will enliven your students’ interest in music -  helping your best readers get “out” of the music, and helping those who tend to play by ear get motivated to read their music with ease.

With
That’s Jazz, even teachers with limited jazz training can feel confident leading their students through their first experiences in jazz. Whether used as a jazz piano method, supplemental lessons to an existing curriculum, or just a collection of sequential jazz tunes, That’s Jazz provides a solid foundation in jazz piano. Whatever your prior jazz experience, That’s Jazz will inspire the inner jazz teacher and musician in you!

STUDENTS: THAT'S JAZZ IS FOR YOU IF:

    • You want to get into jazz for the first time.

    • You want to play music by ear.

    • You want to learn how to improvise

    • You just want to have fun playing jazz tunes!

    • You want to learn skills that will help you become a jazz pianist!

Until now, jazz literature has primarily been accessible only to advanced players, leaving emerging pianists with a gap in their education. That’s Jazz fills this gap with a collection of compelling and accessible tunes, covering the main jazz styles of swing, Latin, and rock.
