## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb book
*by I***Y on 8 March 2012*

I bought this book on the strength of the other reviews and I've not been disappointed.Before starting this book I suppose I would've characterised myself as a beginner - I can read music a bit, play chords with the left and pick out a melody with the right, but that's about it. And I've found this book to be a bit of a learning curve, but that's not to say it is difficult. Each piece introduces a new technique and that is what's been hard. But, with daily practice, I've found that I do get better and before I know it I've managed to learn the piece/technique when I never thought I would upon first listening to it on the CD. I guess that's a testament to the way the book is written and the choice of exercises presented.I've had this book for just over 2 months and I'm still on the first chapter (although near the end of it) and as I said, I practice everyday. So it's not easy, but learning to play decent blues piano isn't going to be is it?I've got other books on piano and I've found them to jump on quite a bit despite what they say. This book takes it step by step and pretty quickly you find you can play some decent blues. And is that not what everyone wants to do? Play some decent music? I don't listen to blues (I do like jazz though), but it's very satisfying to play. And actually, looking further on into the book, I would say there are a fair few jazz pieces in there (looking forward to Blue Monk!)In summary then, if you want to progress your playing, and you are a beginner like me, then you definitely need this book. And some dedication...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrific tutor for blues piano
*by S***S on 10 February 2015*

I have shelves of tutor books, mainly for guitar, but the problem with them would be the same for any instrument - they just don't work the way people do. This one really works. It takes you gradually through from easier to more difficult pieces so that you can build up your skill and understanding. There's recommended listening and a lot of advice and exercises around the pieces. It's not easy and won't do the work for you, but it's as close as you can get to being taught without an actual teacher and there's the CD that helps you to know how it all should sound. I bought it because one of the pieces in it, On Off Boogie, appeared in my ABRSM jazz piano course at Grade 2 and I wanted to do more in that vein. I haven't got that far through yet as I have to fit it around my jazz exam practise, so it will keep me busy for a very long time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fantastically-written work, ideal for intermediate pianists
*by A***R on 30 October 2014*

I've enjoyed using this book hugely in the couple of months since I've bought it. The format, using a new tune to illustrate each concept introduced, works perfectly for me, making learning easy. The initial idea of giving you a very limited palette of notes, but encouraging absolute free expression within them, makes improvisation a lot less daunting. I was enjoying coming up with my own (extremely basic) variations within a few days. It is immediately apparent that the author is an expert in the field, and has put a lot of work and refinement into producing this book. I've been looking for resources to help me improve my piano playing beyond its current level for a couple of years now, and this book has done so brilliantly.
