Description

Martha Mier is currently at home composing music in the jazz and blues genres, and this composition serves as an excellent illustration of her work. Composed in C position and set in 4/4 time, the leisurely tempo allows students to convey the melody, which highlights the flattened third of the blues scale. Indications for octaves above and below for both the right and left hands provide students with the chance to investigate various registers of the keyboard.
