5.0 out of 5 stars
perfect for the intermediate level player,
By A Customer
This review is from: Joy Of Boogie and Blues (Paperback)
A teacher gave this book to me as a child. Now, many years later, I've started playing again and I STILL love this book. The pieces are difficult enough to be interesting, with some sophisticated sounds, yet there are enough downright easy arrangements (3-4 in the beginning of the book) that you shouldn't get too frustrated. This is not a beginning, learning-to-play book, but you don't need to have any background in the blues. My biggest complaint is that most songs do not have the words, even when I know they exist. Some songs have words, and all songs have chords listed. I only recently looked at the back of the book and realized that there are many more in the Joy series. I've tried a few, and so far they are all interesting and right at my level. Also note that there is a Joy of Boogie and Blues, Book 2.

By jose oscar martinez conde (madrid Spain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Joy Of Boogie and Blues (Paperback)
Good book for beginners-intermediate learners.To be a very good one it lacks,however,a CD with the songs recorded.A reference to the speed in the metronome would also be helpful.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Good variety of pieces,

This review is from: Joy of Boogie and Blues (Paperback)
As another reviewer wrote, I also received this years ago from my piano teacher and have LOVED it ever since. My favorite piece is Frankie and Johnny. Some of the pieces are quite simple or a little repetitive, but overall there's a good variety of upbeat boogie and slower, blues pieces. I still play from it regularly.
