Twelve original compositions teaching the Boogie and Swing Time feel and styles of writing.

About this book
The Boogie-Woogie pieces in this book provide a good basis for learning about Jazz, including as they do, the Twelve-Bar Blues form, the Blues Scale notes and Swing Timing. Graded into two sections, each section contains 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.
They are especially good for building up left-hand technique, require no awkward hand position changes and above all are 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.'— June Mclean, AUSTRALIAN MUSIC TEACHER Magazine, Vol 3 No 5 1994
