ABRSM – Jazz Piano Pieces Grade 1

Within each album there are 15 pieces presented in three categories – blues, standards and contemporary jazz. Each piece provides a head which contains all the characteristic voicings, phrasing and rhythmic patterns needed for a stylish performance. An improvised section follows, where guideline pitches and left-hand voicing are given as a practical starting – point for your own solos. Accessible, student-centred and at the highest musical standards, these pieces will get you playing jazz confidently and creatively.
