LCME Jazz Piano Handbook 1: Grades 1-5

This handbook is primarily intended for candidates preparing for the Grades 1 to 5 Jazz Piano exams offered by London College of Music Examinations (LCME). It features everything required for the exam (technical work, pieces, sample tests) in addition to performance notes and discussion of the new topics introduced at each grade. The grades reflect a structured approach to learning jazz: improvisation is introduced gradually, and at each grade a new theme is introduced and explored through exercises.
