Description
Whirly Bird Waltz is a light and airy jazz waltz in D major, which will suit the more advanced pianist at the Grade 5 standard (ABRSM) or higher.
Remember to keep this piece light and springy... rising and falling... After the main theme, we fly on to a written improvisation 'variation' to keep you on your toes featuring lots of fun jazz voicings and chromatic moments.
Ideally, the eighth notes - quavers - should be swung, however, this piece will still fly well if played 'straight'. To learn more about how to swing and improvise, download and have a read of my e-book A Brief Intro to Impro.
To really get into the classic jazz feel of Whirly Bird Waltz, try playing along with the cool jazzy sounds of the MP3 backing track, which comes with this sheet music. There is also a slow tempo practice backing track to try before you speed things up to the metronome marking.
