Christopher Norton Connections for Piano is a collection of pieces in popular styles that is ideal for students and teachers looking for a sound pedagogical supplement or alternative to the study of classical piano literature.

Esteemed composer Christopher Norton has created over 180 original new pieces especially for Connections that correspond by level to many of the world’s examination boards so that students from many countries can enjoy and benefit from the books. Each book in the series showcases a variety of appealing styles such as jazz, rock, blues, Latin, swing, country, funk, and reggae. And with play-along recordings available to download (see the inside front cover of your book for details), students can feel what it’s like to play a style with their own band. This first book contains 30 pieces all of which have backing tracks at practice and performance tempos. The recorded accompaniments created for Connections by professional studio musicians reinforce the styles and double as useful backgrounds for improvising and jamming.
