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. This approach allows for success in a one-semester curriculum or with subsequent terms. Jazz Theory is organized into three parts: Basics, Intermediate, and Advanced. It hosts "play-along" audio tracks on a Companion Website, including a workbook, ear-training exercises, and an audio compilation of the musical examples featured in the book.
Written with the goal to bridge theory and practice, it provides a strong theoretical foundation from music fundamentals to post-tonal theory, while integrating ear training, keyboard skills, and improvisation. Jazz Theory: From Basic to Advanced Study, Second Edition, is a comprehensive textbook for those with no previous study in jazz, as well as those in advanced theory courses.
