Structured to accommodate the three most-prevalent avenues of learning: A) In the classroom: as a text book resource for a three-year course of study when used with the included student practice assignments.Year 1 - Embracing all the essential materials leading up to the construction, and use of four-part chords with accompanying exercises.Year 2 - Coverage of core subjects, plus the construction and use of chords up to and including seven-part chords, with accompanying examples and exercises.Year 3 - The study of melodic inharmonics, substitute and chromatic chords, with guidance on how to recognize and use them. A further section focuses on harmonic and melodic analysis of tunes, with exercises and examples. B) Private instruction: the one-on-one teacher-pupil relationship which forms the second avenue of learning. Private teachers with aspiring jazz students will find this text provides key information in an easily understood and logical progression which eliminates the skip and jump method of teaching. The teacher will easily be able to guide the student, providing practice work and tunes that demonstrate the course of study. C) Self-education: at last a text book, that is useful as a course of self-study in jazz. The book will develop, in the student, an orderly step-by-step understanding of the theory of jazz and jazz improvisation. Student exercises included with this book are written for all instruments (C, Bb, and Eb) to provide meaningful examples and practice assignments for each topic covered in The Art of Jazz Improvisation For All Instruments.
