Su questo libro

Recensione:

The two volumes of Piano Time Jazz by Pauline Hall come attractively packaged, with good quality print and fun comic style illustrations throughout. Book 1 starts off with some simple pieces which are fun to play - 'Tick Tock Boogie' and 'Cheeky Charlie' work well, as does the selection of blues, rock and tangos which follows. I particularly liked 'Living it Up' and 'Friday Night Rag'. In Book 2 the selection is equally appealing. Favourites include 'Polka Dots', 'Three-Quarter Time' (a jazz waltz) and 'Funfair', although you would be hard pressed to find something not to your taste. A most successful selection of accessible, fun to play music. (Music Teacher June 2000)

Providing a useful resource that teaches specific musical skills and techniques is a difficult process, but is one that has been successfully addressed by Pauline Hall with her two volumes of graded jazz piano pieces . . . Designed to complement rather than replace other tutorial material, these volumes are a valuable resource for piano teachers - they are a fun and challenging alternative to some of the more humdrum aspects of learning the piano.

L'autore:

Pauline Hall graduated from the Royal Academy of Music and then taught in schools and privately. Whilst living and teaching in Harrogate she felt the need for a piano tutor which made learning fun, and which progressed at the pace of her slowest learner. She started by writing little tunes in pupils' notebooks, and these formed the basis of Tunes for Ten Fingers; the Piano Time series developed from this.
