Great Scores Sheet Music Blog

Welcome

… to the 5th and final piece taken from our Great Scores Boogie Collection. Today it is the turn of Vivian Smith Smythe Smith Boogie. Once again we have taken the, erm, “inspiration” for the title for this boogie from a character featured in the brilliant “Upper Class Twit Of The Year” sketch by Monty Python.

The video includes a little tutorial on how to play the left hand boogie pattern, one that is used in many boogies, so if you can learn to master it, it will allow you to play many other pieces in this style.
The sheet music for the piece is available here on our site.

Take care

Welcome

… to another piece in our Great Scores Boogie Collection. Today we are featuring the Nigel “Incubator” Jones Boogie. To all you Monty Python fans out there this character may be familiar to you as a contestant in the brilliant “Upper Class Twit Of The Year” sketch.

In our video we feature how to play the rather tricky left hand pattern as well as a famous boogie lick that’s in the right hand, so check out the video below. As always the sheet music for the piece is available here on our site.

Take care

Hello Everyone

Today we’d like to present you the third composition in our new Great Scores Boogie Collection: Steam Train Boogie. As the title suggests, I wrote this in the style of a steam train, with the slow chugging start, the build up of mementum and eventual break-neck speed that locomotives reach in mind, with the whole piece slowing down to an exhausted finale.

We will be featuring all 5 pieces in the Great Scores Boogie Collection with videos over the coming weeks.

I hope you enjoy the piece. As always the sheet music for Steam Train Boogie is available here on our website.

Take care,

Lincoln Jaeger

Greetings

Today we are featuring the second piece in our brand new Great Scores Boogie Collection: Linus Jude The Dude Boogie. The piece is for my little baby son, who turned one year old on the 20th of May, so happy 1st birthday little Linus Jude!

Our Great Scores Boogie collection consists of five pieces, the previous piece we featured here being Grahame’s Grindhouse Boogie. We will post videos of the remaining three over the next few weeks. As always, the sheet music is available here directly from our website.

I hope you dig this piece, I certainly enjoyed writing and playing it!

All the best,

Lincoln

Today we are completing our trilogy of featured pieces by
Charley Waitt. After Dreaming and Rag Rock we are today featuring the wistfully melancholic Reflections.

As always the sheet music is available on our site, and don’t forget to check you Charley’s other compositions.

Hi

We have yet another exciting piano piece by Charley Waitt. This time it’s a change of style, after the sweetly flowing Dreaming we are today presenting the stomping Rag Rock.

We have two videos, one for the original Level (Level R), and one for the easier Level 2 arrangement.

The sheet music for both versions is available for download here.

Enjoy!

Hi

We recently featured the mellifluous piano piece Dreaming by Charley Waitt.

At Great Scores we try and arrange our piano pieces to many different levels of ability (what we call our Levels), allowing as many people as possible to be able to play our pieces.

Today therefore we are featuring the easier Level 2 version of Dreaming. (If you want to watch a video performance of the original version then please click here).

Hi

We have an exciting new Boogie Woogie piece for piano, entitled Grahame’s Grindhouse Boogie.

This is a follow up to our very popular Jerry Lee Lewis Boogie, and forms part of our 5 piece Great Scores Boogie Collection.

We offer the original arrangement, featured in our video, as well as two easier levels: 3.5 and 3.

Level 3.5 has the exact same right hand as the original level (Level R), but the left hand has been simplified to make it easier to play.

Level 3 has the same left hand as Level 3.5 but some of the harder parts in the right hand have also been simplified.

You can download all the different versions here.

Here is the video which also offers a few hints on how to play the harder bits:

Hi

We’d like to feature one of our writers, Charley Waitt, through a performance of his composition Dreaming.

This is a beautifully atmospheric piano piece, the sheet music for which is available here. We offer this composition in two different levels of ability, so if you think the version on the video is too hard, try Level 2 (the video for which we will also be featuring soon).

Enjoy!

Hi

One of our customers from Sweden, Christopher, made a video recording of our jazzy version of Silent Night (Level 3). We liked it so much, we thought we’d share it with you:

Well done, Christopher!
