Just like Microjazz, Christopher Norton’s Microstyles pieces use the same winning combination of classical pieces in popular styles, and have been best-sellers for years!



This bumper compilation takes the best from all 4 Microstyles books and takes the sounds into a new dimension with an accompanying CD featuring performances by the composer and backing tracks to help with practising.  A bargain with over 48 pieces and a CD for just £9.99.  If you like Microjazz, you’ll love this fantastic bumper collection of pieces in a wide range of specific styles, with a stimulating playalong CD!

Customer Reviews

"As a music teacher of 29 years, I have been using the Microjazz and Microstyles material for 19 of those years. The writing is terrific and the pupils willingly learn the pieces. I work with the smf disk. This keeps their timing in check. It is truly an excellent series."
