Jazz theory becomes useful when you can hear it and play it. These six levels move from rhythm and beginner songs into harmony, voicings, lead-sheet creation, comping and increasingly sophisticated improvisation.
Study major-scale harmony, modes, triads, seventh chords, tensions, related ii chords, dominant motion and upper-structure triads.
Build bass lines, shells, inner-voice movement, quartal comping and advanced blues harmony—and learn to create a lead sheet from melody alone.
Follow a five-step improvisation sequence, work over ii–V–I progressions and apply the ideas to jazz standards and blues-based material.
Jazz rhythm, melody, accompaniment and first improvisations through Blue Jay, Zoeie’s Bop, Do’h Blues and Chicken Pox Blues.
Major-scale harmony and modes, triads, seventh chords, shells, tensions, two-handed voicings and ii–V–I improvisation.
Dominant motion, related ii chords, upper-structure triads, killer voicings and a full study of There Is No Greater Love.
Bass lines, blues improvisation, shells and tensions, inner voices, quartal comping, group playing and lead-sheet creation.
A structured five-step improvisation method plus practical application to There Will Never Be Another You.
Bring advanced harmony and improvisation together in a focused study of Cole Porter’s I Get a Kick Out of You.
The PDFs are practical lesson companions. They include written chord voicings, lead sheets, rhythm guidance, tension charts, arrangement examples and improvisation material that you can print or keep open beside the piano.
The printed material makes the progression visible: beginner rhythm and accompaniment, complete standards, two-hand voicings, quartal harmony, tritone substitutions and altered dominants.
