Product description

Pianists at the late elementary level will experience a variety of jazz rhythms and styles in Martha Mier's Concertino in Jazz Styles. The first movement features a lyrical melodic line in the solo part accompanied by syncopated rhythms and seventh-chord harmonies in the accompaniment. The second movement is a jazz waltz, while the third movement captures the feeling of a jaunty walk with its uneven eighth notes. This concertino provides a refreshing introduction to elements of jazz and is a welcome addition to concertos for late elementary students. Movements: Blue Light Special * Starlight Jazz * Strolling Along the Boardwalk.

Martha Mier (*1936) is an American composer, arranger and piano teacher. She is a member of the National Association of Music Teachers and the National Association of Piano Teachers in the state of Florida, and is often invited as an adjudicator for music competitions there.
