What kind of tune would the boogeyman dance to? A boogie-woogie tune, of course! The left hand provides plenty of busy backup for a variety of blues-inspired right-hand licks. (Teachers take note – if you’re looking for material to reinforce the blues scale in a key other than the usual C or F, this is the piece!)
For the adventurous and energetic piano student needing a showpiece to showcase their signature style, this fast and furious jazz solo is sure to dazzle with its infectious groove.
What Level is BOO-gie?
BOO-gie is an intermediate piano solo in G minor that utilizes the blues scale. This fast-paced piece contains many additional accidentals consistent with the blues scale and helpful fingering will help intermediate pianists navigate through it. This loud and powerful piece is an impressive show stopper and students will love the boogie-woogie feel. Accents, dynamics, and other markings will help students execute a powerful performance!
Fun for both teacher and student alike!

What isn’t there to love about this piece! The cover is really fun and so is the music. The repetitive patterns make it easy to teach and students just love to play ‘wicked’ fast!
Marissa Leonino Lange –
LOVE this piece and so does my student!
Rachel –
A showstopper! Definitely some rhythmic challenges and will take some work to get to a “wicked fast” tempo, but my student and I are talking about using it as a winter studio recital solo (even though it will be out of season by then) because it’s just so fun.
Jeanne –
BOO-gie has been a real hit with my students.
Nancy –
BOO-gie is so much fun! My student who loves jazz learned it to help with left hand dexterity, and enjoyed the piece so much! It’s definitely a good brain workout, and the music itself is awesome. A Sifford classic!
