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. 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. 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. Jazz Theory is organized
into three parts: Basics, Intermediate, and Advanced. This approach
allows for success in a one-semester curriculum or with subsequent
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. KEY FEATURES include 390
musical examples, ranging from original lead sheets of standard
tunes, jazz instrumentals, transcriptions, and original
compositions, to fully realized harmonic progressions, sample
solos, and re-harmonized tunes. The completely revamped Companion
Website hosts: 46 "Play Along Sessions" audio tracks, offering
experiences close to real-time performance scenarios. Over 1,000
(audio and written) exercises covering ear training, rhythm,
notation, analysis, improvisation, composition, functional
keyboard, and others. Recordings of all 390 musical examples from
the textbook. Links: Guide to Making Transcriptions, List of Solos
to Transcribe, Selected Discography, Classification of Standard
Tunes, and more. Lists of well-known standard tunes, including a
comprehensive list of 999 Standard Tunes - Composers and Lyricists.

to written and ear-training exercises, 380 rhythmic calisthenics
featuring exercises from the swing, bebop, and Latin rhythmic
traditions, a new improvisation section, a set of 140 Comprehensive
