About this Composition:
Aunty Bett’s Boogie Blues piano sheet music by Australian composer Justin James is a lively contemporary piano solo inspired by traditional boogie woogie and blues piano styles.
 
Built around a driving left-hand bass pattern and playful right-hand riffs, the piece explores groove, rhythmic energy and hand independence through expressive and highly tactile keyboard writing. The steady bass line underpins the entire work, while blues-influenced melodic figures create movement, momentum and character throughout.
 
Dedicated to a special aunt and inspired by a spontaneous compositional moment during a Christmas gathering, the music carries both warmth and vitality. While energetic and fun to perform, the piece also functions as a valuable study in coordination, rhythmic consistency and boogie woogie bass technique.
 
Ideal for advanced students, recital repertoire and pianists exploring groove-based contemporary piano music.
 
A Note from Justin
A dedication to a special Aunt.
 
An Aunt with many talents. A musician, a radiologist, an artist, a teacher, among many talents. She also devoted her life to a higher purpose, which takes courage and commitment.
 
This composition happened by a chance demonstration of how I compose. And a short time later, it was done. That was a special Christmas evening.
 
Ideal for students who want to learn a traditional boogie woogie bassline and build hand independence.
 
The right-hand figures are manageable, given that the left is mastered and memorised.
