Excellent Resource for Blues Piano Students
This Blues & Barrelhouse Piano method is fantastic for students. The 'no music reading required' approach, coupled with Ann Rabson's video lessons, makes complex blues grooves accessible. The clear structure on left-hand patterns and improvisation is superb for developing rhythmic independence and creativity. Engraving is clear, and the lessons provide great fingering ideas implicitly, making it an encouraging tool for a wide range of students.

Solid Foundation for Blues Improvisation
While this is a method book, not a collection of gig charts, the instruction on blues and barrelhouse piano is incredibly valuable. Ann Rabson's focus on essential left-hand grooves and soloing concepts helps build a solid foundation. You won't find traditional chord symbols for sight-reading on a gig, but the knowledge gained here, especially the improvisation techniques, is easily adaptable and will enhance any blues set.

Blues & Barrelhouse Piano DVD & Book
Brilliant video filmed from above to show exactly which notes to play and Ann tells which fingers to use. The music book is invaluable to continue practice when not watching the video. Thanks so much for this wonderful resource.
