With popular tracks like ‘I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to be Free’ (Nina Simone), ‘Blue Suede Shoes’ (Elvis Presley), and ‘Watermelon Man’ (Herbie Hancock), The Blues Piano Collection really does have something for everyone! Chords symbols are printed on the music - this encourages you to improvise your own interpretation of these blues classics. The music includes chord symbols, performance directions, fingerings, metronome markings, dynamics, articulation, and ornaments. The arrangements are an intermediate level (approx. grades 4-6 standard).
