Review

Jazz Piano From Scratch is a much needed and very intelligently organized book for the beginning student or jazz piano teacher. I think it will inspire students to practice and continue study since the exercises are quite a lot of fun! (Randy Brecker)

. . . brilliant, lucid and thorough going. (Piano)

This is real recognition that jazz has equal musical value to the whole of the Western classical tradition, says Richard Michael (jazz musician and music teacher). Unlike others who pay ample lip-service to this fact, the Associated Board is putting its money where its mouth is. (The Scotsman)
