Rhythm and Rag (16 pieces in various popular styles) Reviews

Musical quality: Outstanding. * Piano Quarterly *
As the title suggests, these pieces in jazz idiom are a splendid introduction for young pupils wishing to get away from the 'classics' for a while. Alan Haughton has taught many young children and his music has an immediate appeal with its catchy rhythms yet not too difficult technically. * Piano Journal *
Alan Haughton displays a natural melodic gift in the 16 short pieces in Rhythm and Rag, which form an excellent introduction to this style. Where this collection scores over others of a similar type is that each piece is not only intensely musical - some are real gems - but it also poses quite specific technical challenges. * Music Journal *
