Description

The Portraits series addresses a longstanding need in student piano repertoire by offering engaging and enjoyable pieces across jazz, blues, rock, and other popular genres. This collection provides a guided exploration of the unique sounds of various artists, allowing students to experience these styles through progressively arranged original compositions. Each piece is accompanied by the artist's biography, a photograph, listening recommendations, and tailored preparatory exercises. While the series is primarily aimed at students aged 12 and older, younger musicians can also benefit from these pieces with the support of a teacher. Additionally, a CD is available to demonstrate the examples and facilitate play-along sessions, whether with solo keyboard or full band accompaniment. The Portraits series is designed to enhance all popular piano methods, including those for adult learners.
