This 'Jazz Starters' collection is clearly designed as a 'Beginning' piano solo method, which means it doesn't contain vocal lines or accompaniment structures for singers. However, for understanding and teaching various jazz idioms on the piano, such as blues or jazz-rock, it's quite valuable. The solo piano texture offers a clear presentation of each stylistic concept, great for developing harmonic and rhythmic independence.

I absolutely love this 'Jazz Starters' book! As an adult learner, the 'Beginning' level is just right – challenging enough to feel productive but completely achievable for a weekend player. Bill Boyd's original pieces in various jazz styles are incredibly fun, making me feel like I'm playing authentic jazz sounds without all the struggle. Perfect for unwinding and enjoying the music!

This Bill Boyd collection is a fantastic find for my beginning piano students. The 'Beginning' level is perfectly judged, making jazz idioms like swing and blues truly accessible. The included fingerings are a huge plus for developing proper technique and reading. It's an encouraging way to introduce various jazz styles early, making rhythm and stylistic playing enjoyable for young learners.
