The Master has taken care that entering the world of Music and studying the АВС of classics the children nowadays from their first steps could become familiar wi1h specific jazz medium that is characterized by diverse and elaborate rhy1hm and harmony and texture different from classics. 

From easy etudes and small pieces (minuets) developing in succession various techniques and methods of execution towards more difficult and less schematic works — that is the way for our pupils to go when learning these compositions, and they will do it with pleasure. Children are generally attracted bу jazz, rock, pop music, etc., that is why we think it reasonable to from their musical taste with best classical models.
