Jazz Theory: From Basic to Advanced Study - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Jazz Theory: From Basic to Advanced Study, Second Edition is a comprehensive textbook ideal for Jazz Theory courses or as a self-study guide for amateur and professional musicians. Written with the goal to bridge theory and practice, it provides a strong theoretical foundation beginning with music fundamentals through post-tonal theory, while integrating ear training, keyboard skills, and improvisation. It hosts "play-along" audio tracks on a companion website, which features the workbook, ear-training exercises, and an audio compilation of the musical examples highlighted in the book.

Jazz Theory is designed for those with no previous study in jazz as well as those students in advanced theory courses. The textbook is organized into three parts: Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced, working in a single-semester curriculum or in one with multiple terms. If students sense that theory can facilitate their improvisational skills or can help them develop their ears, they become more engaged in the learning process. The overall pedagogical structure accomplishes precisely that in an original, creative, and-above all-musical manner.
