Blues Piano with Professor Louie
If you already play piano and are ready to get into blues, barrelhouse, boogie-woogie, or rock playing, Louie starts with fairly simple rhythm patterns and expands into solo playing. He systematically builds strength and agility, first in the right hand, then in the left, until you are playing complicated right- and left-hand patterns and are on your way to playing both lead and rhythm piano. He gives hints and pointers about playing in the traditional blues, rock, and folk styles, both as a soloist and as a member of a band. Learn how to sing along or accompany a singer while playing some Band songs and blues favorites. Skill Level B/C Period 4 ~ Professor Louie
