Microjazz

Christopher Norton's acclaimed Microjazz has won worldwide popularity with teachers and players alike for its stimulating blend of contemporary popular genres and classical values. Two primers and three collections of repertoire pieces form five clearly defined levels of achievement, making Microjazz the ideal basis for progressive learning and teaching.  The two primer books, "Microjazz for Absolute Beginners" and "Microjazz for Beginners" take first-time players steadily through basic keyboard technique and theory using simple pieces in popular styles such as jazz, blues, rock, and reggae. Each book features simple pieces with distinctive Microjazz style duet accompaniments for use by a teacher or any intermediate player. These duets transform even the easiest tunes into unmistakable Microjazz pieces. The Microjazz Collections 1 - 3 progress from the early intermediate to late intermediate levels and offer sets of progressive pieces in popular styles such as jazz, blues, rock, and reggae. "Improvise Microjazz" offers an easy, step-by-step method of learning to improvise for the intermediate-level player. Simple transposition exercises and short, structured solos lead to controlled, confident improvisations. "Microjazz Collection Trios" (1P6H) offers intermediate-level pieces in popular styles for three piano players. The Microjazz 20th Anniversary Complete Collection includes six book: "Microjazz for Absolute Beginners," "Microjazz for Beginners," Microjazz Collections 1 - 3 and a Big Beats collection with playalong CD as an extra bonus.  Try this well-respected method and hear the unique sound of Microjazz come alive right from the very first lesson!
