We have a very exciting Christmas concert planned with a jazz band coming along to accompany our pianists of all ages. Beginner students are welcome to take part - you can play any of the pieces as a duet with your teacher on the day whilst the band. Students around Prep Test/Grade 1 level can choose to go solo with the band. If you do not wish to play with the band, then you can play a piece of your own choice but as this is the only time we'll have a band at the recital, we do encourage you to do one of the pieces below. Pick up a copy of the book and bring to your next lesson for your teacher to advise which piece you can start learning.

Choose any piece from these two books to play with the band:

Grades 1 to 5:
Higgledy Piggledy Jazz (comes with backing CD to practise playing with the band)
