Boogie-Woogie Piano The Complete Guide with Online Audio | Hal Leonard Keyboard Style Series | Sheet Music Book for Piano with Step-by-Step Piano Method | Learn Blues Piano Techniques and Riffs

Excellent book for learning Boogie Woogie piano. Plenty of patterns to work on. Explanations are clear and concise. Easily understood. Boogie Woogie is not the type of music you should work on as a novice. For the advanced-intermediate player, it will be a challenge. One of the best books I have found. Book includes a cd so you can listen to examples fro the book and play along. Highly recommended.

I purchased this for my wife and here are her comments: Boogie Woogie Piano will help you acquire the basic music genre and focus on boogie woogie harmonic structures and bass lines. Boogie Woogie Piano teaches right hand techniques, introduction, breaks and ending which allow you as an artist to create your own boogie woogie. I highly recommend this book.

Todd Lowry's book has all that you need to get into playing boogie-woogie in a serious way (if it's possible to be "serious about something as fun as boogie-woogie). He knows many styles of boogie-woogie, as played by various artists over the years, and has written examples of songs in these styles. Working with the exercises and pieces in this book should get your creative juices flowing. To get the most out of the book, you will have to do what people do when they want to play in Carnegie Hall, You will have to go to the piano and "Practice, practice, practice!!!" Then, when you have mastered boogie-woogie, you can get some of Lowry's other books and explore other styles of piano playing.

This book is an advanced book. Kind of difficult if you don't have experience but fun if you want to learn and practice.

One of the best books I've ever seen from Hal Leonard. If you'd like to learn how to play boogie woogie on the piano, you're unlikely to regret purchasing this book. I don't see what else you could want from it. It starts with very simple bass figures (though it does assume you know how to read music) and progresses to far more complicated lines and improvisations. The CD that comes with it is done very well. Be warned that it's not for kids in the sense that your LH had better be able to stretch an octave from page 1.

Great book for starting on this style, good practical examples to build on, plenty of left hand shuffle exercises and Boogie cliches for the right hand that sound the part. Highly recommend it.

Be forewarned there is no fingering notation in this book. The instructions are "figure out a fingering that fits your hand." This might be all right for a more experienced pianist but makes the book of limited use to me as I'm trying to learn correct fingering or what has been deemed efficient fingering by someone who knows a lot more than me. I'm not far along but at this point I would recommend Blues Piano by Mark Harrison which is also part of the Hal Leonard Keyboard series. ---J.Z.

My 12 yr old grandson is learning piano, and he especially enjoys Boogie Woogie. Nice to still know there are some music books around (and through Amazon) that he can have extra fun with music.

Débutante au piano, 2 ans de cours, je m'initie au boogie. Mon professeur m'aide mais je peux aussi travailler seule avec le livre grâce aux fichiers audio 😊😊. Amusant et motivant.

Als Basis für Anfänger ganz nett.

CDを聞いても、弾いても、楽しい気分になります。買って良かったです。

Piano players who've previously worked through Blues Piano by Mark Harrison will be treading on familiar ground with the layout of Boogie-Woogie Piano by Todd Lowry. It begins with left hand riffs, moves on to "Right Hand Melodic Riffs", and "Riffs for Intros, Turnarounds, Endings, and Breaks", before arriving at the penultimate "Style File" chapter. The book is only 7 pages shorter than "Blues..." but feels less meaty somehow. If you're looking to work on your playing after 'Blues Piano', you might want to give Stride & Swing Piano by John Valerio (with a chapter on blues and boogie-woogie) a try. It's a more natural progression, and feels like less of a side step. If you're only interested in playing Boogie Woogie, then this one's not bad. There's a lot of good info and plenty of music to practice. Not for absolute beginners. Players should know how to read music. This book doesn't teach the fundamentals.

Ottimo testo che permette di avvicinarsi gradatamente al genere boogie-woogie. Il libro fornisce una serie di esercizi per le mani separate e successivamente per le mani unite. Questi esercizi permettono di imparare le tecniche esecutive tipiche di questo stile. Attenzione: questo libro non insegna a suonare il piano partendo da zero ma sottindente che ci sia già una conoscenza della tastiera e dell'armonia (oltre che della lettura). Consigliatissimo a chi già suona da un po' e vuole avvicinarsi a questo genere.
