12 Refreshing Songs For The Intermediate Pianist.
The beautiful repertoire in this book has been composed for pianists who are specifically looking light relief away from the grading system.
Part of the Make It Nice series, this book consists of twelve songs. Aimed at grade 4 & 5 level pianists, each tune is designed to challenge and enhance playing style.
Jazz pianist Jack Fisher is a composer, arranger & session musician based in Surrey, UK. Since graduating from the London College of Music, Jack has enjoyed working with a multitude of performers in many areas of the pop industry.
As a tutor to all ages, it is important to Jack that students enjoy their progression by exploring different genres and playing styles. As such, the performance directions in this book are merely suggestions and pianists are encouraged to try playing the pieces in different ways. The tunes can be performed faster or slower than the suggested tempo, and dynamics can be varied also.
There is just one thing to remember when reading through this book - play the songs as you see fit, but always Make It Nice
