Combining boogie-woogie, blues, rock, and rock 'n' roll elements into an enticing mix, boogie \u0026amp; blues piano offers pianists the freedom to play unaccompanied and to present a repertoire that is based on their own particular strengths. The rules of improvisation and how to jam along with other musicians are much easier to learn than in complex jazz music. Boogie-woogie is also a masculine domain and female pianists are underrepresented. While the large hands and strong male physique associated with greater power and endurance are a great advantage, women and girls can now take heart and are perfectly able to groove and boogie with the best of players by adjusting the notes and licks to a smaller hand with a lighter touch. German ULRIKE GATE is one of the few female boogie \u0026amp; blues piano players in Europe, and New Zealander JAN PRESTON is known as the 'Queen of Boogie Piano' in Australia, where she now lives. The authors met from across the world through their shared love of the boogie piano tradition. They have produced this boogie \u0026amp; blues tutor to help and inspire female players of all ages to experience the uplifting energy and abundant possibilities of this style. Written for all small-handed piano players, regardless of gender, the book contains original compositions specifically arranged for pianists with small hands ranging in difficulty from lower intermediate to advanced, as well as a variety of suitable left hand patterns and many exercises. The authors present important characteristics of the boogie \u0026amp; blues piano style and provide tips on how to improvise. Audio samples are downloadable as mp3 files and QR codes. www.ulrikegaate.com www.janpreston.com","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50316598149393,"sku":"GOR010054667","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3743990199.jpg?v=1750838094"},{"product_id":"little-blues-boogie-piano-book-book-ulrike-gaate-9783732393398","title":"The Little Blues \u0026 Boogie Piano Book","description":"Boogie-woogie touches the heart and lifts the spirits of both players and listeners. Unlike most other musical styles the piano takes centre stage and is not just an accompanying instrument.

Hier steht das Klavier im Mittelpunkt und ist kein reines Begleitinstrument, wie es sonst meistens ublich ist. Im Boogie \u0026amp; Blues Piano verschmelzen Boogie-Woogie, Blues, Rock und Rock 'n' Roll zu einer mitreissenden Mischung, mit der sich die Grundregeln des Improvisierens und von Sessions wesentlich schneller erlernen lassen als mit der komplexen Jazzmusik. Fur den Pianisten Joja Wendt, der wahrend einer Session in einer Hamburger Musikkneipe von Joe Cocker entdeckt und als Vorprogramm fur dessen Tournee verpflichtet wurde, war diese Musik der Einstieg zu seiner inzwischen uber 30-jahrigen, erfolgreichen Karriere. Viele Profi-Tipps zur besonderen Spielweise des Boogie-Woogie bzw. Boogie \u0026amp; Blues Pianos werden innerhalb der Musikszene nur von Mensch zu Mensch uberliefert und wurden bislang nicht in Buchern aufgezeichnet. Joja Wendt und Ulrike Gaate, die in Europa zu den wenigen Pianistinnen im mannerdominierten Genre gehort, haben in diesem Buch ihr Wissen zusammengetragen, um Hobby-Klavierspieler und Nachwuchspianisten fur die faszinierende Welt des Boogie \u0026amp; Blues Pianos zu begeistern und ihnen einen Einstieg zu ermoglichen. Das Buch enthalt einen klar strukturierten Aufbau, leicht verstandliche Informationen aus langjahriger Spielpraxis, Tipps fur die Buhne, Eigenkompositionen und viele Ubungsaufgaben. Uber 40 Horbeispiele stehen als mp3-Files zum Download in Joja Wendts Online-Klavierschule unter www.jojaspianoacademy.de zur Verfugung. Acht Original-Transkriptionen verschiedener Schwierigkeitsgrade, Klassiker von Hersal Thomas, Albert Ammons, Meade Lux Lewis und Jimmy Yancey, runden das Werk ab. Viele Fotos, Erlebnisberichte und Anekdoten machen die Lekture zum Lesevergnugen. Das Buch ist sowohl fur fortgeschrittene Klavierspieler als auch fur Anfanger geeignet, die mit dem elementaren Basiswissen des Klavierspiels vertraut sind.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52616081473809,"sku":"NLS9783734523618","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783734523618.jpg?v=1761526123"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-ulrike-gaate.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
