Blues & Boogie-Woogie
Twelve Original Compositions for Piano
Twelve original compositions teaching the Boogie and Swing Time feel and styles of writing. The pieces follow on from those in 'Dexter's Easy Piano Pieces' and provide a good basis for learning about Jazz — including the Twelve-Bar Blues form, the Blues Scale notes and Swing Timing.
Graded into two sections, each containing one blues piece, three boogie pieces in Major keys and two in Minor keys. Various methods of writing the swing feel have been employed for experience in the style.
- Especially good for building up left-hand technique.
- Requires no awkward hand position changes.
- Above all — fun to play!

Margaret Brandman's publication gives students a wonderful choice of twelve original blues and boogie-woogie compositions. Also included is a brief history and analysis to give students a background of these styles... This is an excellent publication which, I am sure, teachers and students will enjoy.
