FOREWORD TO THE
“CLASSICS TO JAZZ”
SERIES:
Most every young pianist begins their training with
Classical
studies. Development of proper technique cannot be over-emphasized. This development is aided by utilizing the existing works of many great composers. In order to express themselves musically, young pianists must be guided through hours of repetitive study to develop correct hand positioning and proper phrasing. As the serious piano student progresses, it is quite normal that they seek other challenging styles with which to experiment.
There is certainly an abundance of
Classical
and
Jazz
literature to keep studies interesting, but
few publications strive to blend the two
. When experimenting with a new style, the student usually faces a learning curve. The musician must now step back and listen, to appreciate the usefulness of the scales and arpeggios that he or she has played for so long.
Classics to Jazz
allows the serious student to make a smooth transition from
Classical to Jazz
studies. Each piece is written in standard notation identical to the original work. Then we embellish the
Classic
to a
“point of no return”
, which would make even the greatest
Jazz
pianist take notice. This
Santorella Publication
is not meant for the unprepared musician. It pushes the dedicated student to the edge, encouraging them to advance with every page-turn.
The whole approach abolishes the barrier that has separated the two genres. Many educators are fearful that expanding into
Jazz
studies translates into abandonment of the students’
Classical
background and technique. On the contrary,
Santorella’s Classics To Jazz
series
emphasizes the importance of
Classical
literature by displaying the original piece, followed by a
Jazz
rendition. This allows the student to concentrate their efforts on the
Classical
piece prior to attempting the
Jazz
arrangement. Only after successful completion of the
Classical
piece should the student advance to the challenging
Jazz Piano
version. Educators will praise the approach and adore the results. If by hard work and practice, a young pianist can play through
Classics to Jazz
, then he or she will have certainly surpassed the abilities of their peers.
