Sarah Watts’ very popular recorder tuition books, with simple jazz-style pieces that have a 'feel good' accompaniment which can be played on the piano, have been revised and now feature both the fun tunes in the original versions plus several entirely new ones that are designed to build confidence. The free CD contains new backing tracks at both performance and practice tempo.

‘Razzamajazz was the first series I wrote and I still think it is one of the most useful. The idea behind the various instrumental versions was to provide a way of learning an instrument while playing actual pieces. I thought the teacher might find it a useful accompaniment to the traditional tutor book.

I really wanted to write pieces which made the student sound good, right from the very first note. I wanted to set the student up for success by writing each piece with a special accompaniment that made them feel they had achieved something great, and made them want to turn the page and learn more.’
