Volume 6 also offers an introduction to "shell" voicings.Like the other books in this series, this book offers melodic examples that you can practice as well as listen to on the Muse Eek website.

This book is based on Roberta Piket's twenty-plus years of educational experience. In addition to her private students and her experience coaching jazz ensembles at Long Island University, Roberta has given clinics or masterclasses at the Eastman school of Music, Rutgers University, California Institute of the Arts, Macalester College, Duke University, and countless middle and high schools throughout the U.S., Europe and Japan.
