Alfred Jazz Play-Along Series, Basic Piano Course: Praise Hits, and Sound Innovations Additions

Alfred Music has added to The Alfred Jazz Play-Along Series with Alfred Jazz: Freddie Hubbard & More Play-Along, Vol. 5 and Alfred Jazz: Freddie Hubbard & More Play-Along for Rhythm Section, Vol. 5. Freddie Hubbard & More has parts for C, B flat, E flat, and bass clef instrument and includes a sample jazz solo written out for each instrumentalist to list to, play, and practice. The Rhythm Section version features written-out parts for piano, bass, and drum set. The instrument parts include comping suggestions and sample solos that teach improvisation.

With Alfred's Basic Piano Course: Praise Hits Levels 2 and 3, the piano series continues to fill the need for contemporary Christian music used as supplementary pieces for students. Students can play versions of well-known contemporary worship music with the addition of these titles. Each piece correlates page-by-page with concepts presented in Level 2 and 3 of Alfred's Basic Piano Course: Lesson Book 2 and 3. There are 22 current worship songs inside the pages of Praise Hits Levels 2 and 3 including "10,000 Reasons," "One Thing Remains (Your Love Never Fails)," "Mighty to Save," and "Your Grace Is Enough.”

The latest addition to Alfred’s Sound Innovations method is Sound Innovations for Guitar, Book 2. This second installment of Sound Innovations for Guitar continues the format established in Book 1 – to teach students from day one to play using the kinds of riffs, patterns, chords and songs that drew them to the guitar in the first place. Book 2 introduces new concepts such as moving up the neck, sixteenth notes, speed picking, playing moveable power chords in higher positions, classic guitar riffs, barre chords (major, minor, and seventh), and much more.
