Play it Cool Viola Rae &CD

10 easy pieces for beginners with CD accompaniment in Swing, Funk Reggae, Blues and Latin.

"Designed for the beginner, this collection of pieces provides stimulating performing material at the easiest possible level. The accompaniments (piano or CD) provide a good solid backing and will inspire the soloist to play with energy and enthusiasm. I have made much deliberate use of the repetition of phrases, as I feel that this is the best way for pupils to absorb new rhythms." - James Rae.
