ABRSM Jazz Piano Pieces Grade 4

The ABRSM Grade 1 to 5 Jazz Pieces for Piano are five superb albums of graded pieces which provide a wealth of jazz repertoire for you to play.

Throughout, there is a huge range of styles, from bebop blues to calypsos, boogie-woogie to ballads, jazz waltzes to free jazz.

There are classic tunes by the jazz greats, including Duke Ellington, Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk. And there are brand-new pieces specially commissioned from professional British jazz musicians and educators.

Each book presents 15 pieces in three lists: blues, standards and contemporary jazz. The head of each piece is set out with all the characteristic voicings, phrasing and rhythmic patterns you need for a stylish performance. The improvised section gives guideline pitches and left-hand voicings as a practical starting-point.

Accessible, student-centred and of the highest musical standards, these pieces will get you playing jazz confidently and creatively.
