Arettas Rhumba-Early Intermediate

Description: South of the border we go! Aretta's Rhumba is a fun supplemental solo written for the early intermediate pianist. Purpose: Eric Baumgartner - The syncopated rhythms employed here are common in Latin American jazz. I designed this piece to be a good introduction to this wonderfully infectious style of music. Suggestions for Instruction: Do your best to lock into the steady pulse maintained (mostly!) by the half notes in the left hand without rushing the syncopated rhythms in the right. Key: D minor 4 p.
