Jazz Microetudes for Easy Piano

The Jazz Microetudes offers you eleven short and easy jazz etudes for beginning pianists. The goal of these studies is to introduce beginning jazzmen how to phrase in jazz music, which is different from classical music. Etudes introduce and practice eighth notes phrasing, syncopes playing, walking bass, blues scale and the basics of improvisation and boogie-woogie. Before each exercise, there is a short recommendation for a correct jazz interpretation of the etude. Emil Hradecky (*1953) is a Czech composer and piano teacher whose compositions are often inspired by dance and jazz music.
