Book Description
Boogie-woogie is an intoxicating music style that touches the heart and uplifts the spirit of players and listeners alike. Combining boogie-woogie, blues, rock, and rock 'n' roll elements into an enticing mix, boogie & 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 GAATE is one of the few female boogie & 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 & 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 & 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

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. Boogie & blues piano combines boogie-woogie, blues, rock and rock 'n' roll elements into an enticing mix. The rules of improvisation and how to play along in jam sessions are much easier to learn than, for instance, in complex jazz. Many tricks and licks for playing boogie-woogie have before now been passed from person to person in the international music scene and have not been available in published books. For outstanding pianist and Steinway artist JOJA WENDT, discovered by Joe Cocker during a jam session in a Hamburg piano bar and booked by him as a support act, boogie-woogie was the entry into a successful international career that has now spanned more than 30 years. JOJA WENDT and ULRIKE GAATE, who is one of the very few female boogie & blues piano players in Europe, are experienced musicians who have collaborated to produce this exciting book. They present easily understood and succinct expert tips to help amateur enthusiasts and the next generation of talent alike enter the fascinating world of boogie & blues piano. The book contains clearly structured information provided by experienced professionals, tips for live performance, piano sheet music, original compositions, fingering notations, a large variety of bass lines and multiple exercises. More than 40 mp3 audio samples are downloadable from Joja Wendt's online piano academy: www.jojaspianoacademy.de. Eight original transcriptions, including by Hersal Thomas, Albert Ammons, Meade 'Lux' Lewis und Jimmy Yancey, are included. In addition, many photos, anecdotes and behind-the-scenes stories make this book engrossing, informative and a pleasure to read. The level of the book is ranging in difficulty from lower intermediate to advanced learners.
