I have taught piano for over thirty years. Faber and Faber books are one of my favorite resources for my young students. Many songs in Jazz & Blues may be 75 years old but my 7 to 12 year old students enjoy the melodies, the rhythm and the lyrics, plus the transcription styles are level appropriate. The teacher duet sections enrich my students learning experience as the blended harmonies help them learn and appreciate the joy of performing with other musicians. I would recommend these books even for older beginning students. They are just plain fun.
We ordered this book at the advice of our piano teacher to "help" keep piano lessons interesting. IT WORKS. My 7 yr old daughter is much better at practicing since she has some fun cool things to play.
The arrangements in this collection are lacking. The songs are very weak, and VERY hard to even hear the melody. Renditions of popular songs sound nothing like the originals with the exception of "It don't mean a thing if it aint got that swing" which is a decent beginner jazz song. Most of the other songs do not sound like the original and do not even sound like songs. This is one of the worst blues books I have tried and there are much better choices still appropriate for beginners.
This is an excellent book for level 1 students. I like to use it forsight reading duets as well as prepared material. There are no otherbooks I know of that use such charming songs (like "Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue") with such expertly crafted arrangements. Faber and Faber area great team. After 15 years of teaching piano, it didn't take me long to fall in love with this one!!! Happy Playing Amanda Geary
This is my daughter's music book, for her piano classes. She is just a beginner taking lessons, and her teacher recommended this book. The songs have a much better groove than her last book, so it's starting to become fun to hear her play.
Their primer book is my favorite, but this one is not bad. My only complaint is that they should update the songs, kids don't know these tunes anymore. I barely did! But their are a few that are always popular and the duets are great!
