Walking Home [Alf:00-25479]

Students can play this piece "as they like it" because the eighth notes can be either swung or played straight. Written in C major and 4/4 meter, the focus of the piece is the left hand that features a repeating walking bass pattern. If the eighth notes are swung, the solo takes on a more jazz-like character. Either way, it is a jaunty solo filled with rhythmic vitality and lots of patterns for ease in learning.
