About This Activity
Description
This year-long class is a continuation and expansion of the analytic principles and vocabulary introduced in Jazz Theory I. Class topics include dominant function, modal interchange, deceptive resolution, diminished chords and scales, and compound chords. To facilitate this, students listen to classic compositions and improvisations, learn to sing them, and then analyze them from a variety of perspectives. The result aims to educate the student on the inner-workings of this music, while empowering the student to adopt similar approaches in their own playing and composing..
