Introduction to Stride Piano (Book & CD) (Ekay Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Disappointing.The book consists of a few introductory exercises, and then several arrangements by Ms. Carmichael using stride.But there was no discussion of developing stride technique.For example, is it best to read the notes or look at the keys, or somehow do both?The arrangements are well done, but it would have been better if these were graded in difficulty with instructions as to what one is supposed to learn from that particular arrangement.At the end of the day, it is not much better than picking up stride and ragtime pieces from other composers and just practicing them.
